Wonder if seeing a rising young Russian star soon to join, also gives NT a nudge for urgency? They should help each other get rolling in a new environment.

Someday this NT fascination will fade away.

It's just not gonna happen.

JB stated an emphasis on character in prospects. Yrs back(mostly that OTHER site) saw him get heckled for this. It's soooo nice now of all these young stars, you get the sense they'll all fit/gel cohesively. There don't seem to be any types with undermining egos & bad attitudes.

This is gold.

Hard to put a price on locker room mentality and team dynamic.

Importantly, when they all age into bigger contracts, I bet they'll be able to financially fit more stars than many other rivals can manage.

Another winner.

If your superstars settle for 6,7,8 or so then you can squeeze one or two more in and balance the payroll out somewhat

also keeping the group perhaps more "financially balanced"??

maybe he can miss his plane and just stay. 

I miss the days when players would defect.

 

(Well, don’t really miss those days at all, as far as the politics and the way people suffered under certain regimes. Just to be clear.)

 

But it sure was exciting when there was more “cloak and dagger” around getting guys over here.

 

And there’d actually be a chance of Pod “missing his plane” back in those days.

Podz got player of the game for Russia, even in the 5-0 loss. I guess the “only if he scores points is he not a bust” crew will be upset.

 

he was also chosen top 3 on Russia as well.

Can we put the height thing to rest?  VP is just about as tall as the goalie, who I looked up was 6’3”. 

What if the goalie is lying about his height?  :P

 

Anyway, it doesn't really matter right now what his height is, the thing is that the young guy is on fire at the World Juniors.  He plays with emotion and skill and that's good.   He just won the player of the game against Canada as well as one of the top three players for Russia for the tournament.   I look forward to seeing him in a Canucks jersey as soon as possible.  

 

Go Canucks Go!

I agree 100%. I don’t care what his stat line is for the tournament....he plays a pro game and will just get better and stronger.  Just the type of player you want going into 7 game playoff series.
