Brovat Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I think and hope Pod is a different animal. I also think the team culture is different now as well. Young guys are leading the team now and it appears they are all buying in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yung1 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I feel like that fact that he cant come over for 2 years could be the perfect recipe for a cup run on his ELC. By that time player like Juolevi, Woo, Hughes, Demko and others will be likely and hopefully be strong contributors on the squad and he could provide a huge boost in our top 6 to put us over the edge. Glad he fell to us. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I am good with this pick...I do believe Seider was Benning's D. that he would have picked if available...but a power forward is needed...well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on another d man thru FA, Myers, re sign Schenn and bring back Trymakin and we have a big mobile defence with Hughes, OJ and Stecher for the skill. Not a mean team, but big and mobile with some super skilled players to utilize their line mates. I like the new looking nucks, just need to lose the deadweight middle 6 players like Eriksson and it's a happy post/pre season. Tanev = Mr. Glass.

Grape Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Does anyone know if Podkolzin doesn't know any English yet? Or is he one of those guys that understands and speaks a bit but just isn't fluent enough to do it on his own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pod likely knows very little. He's likely too shy to talk in English for a while yet. I'm sure Canucks will arrange him to start taking lessons and learming pretty soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 This guy makes Matthew Tkachuk seem less of a douche. Similar playstyle to Tkachuk as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same, only this kid might have the balls to back up his attitude, not like the turtle Tkachuk. Watching his media availability, he has a death stare to match EP. Probably a combination of nerves and talking through a translator but boy, he comes across as a badass. If he can back this up the fans here will love him.

When I first read this sentence, as punctuated, I thought you were calling Sergei Chibisov a “translator but boy.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
