Theres khl playoffs Then contract talks Then quarantine Then practice (not sure if green will just throw him in the lineup) Then his health All these stars have to align by april 8th (47 days) for him to play a game with us this year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. actually, apparently his contract expires after the world championships (May 21 - June 6); although there's a very real possibility, owing to covid, that that tournament does not take place.

His KHL contract expires on April 30. If he is called up to the national team for the world championship, there would be another contract with Russian Hockey Federation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything could happen. According to Roman Roterberg, the SKA vice-president, in his interview of today, Podkolzin's injury is not as bad as this was initially thought and Vasily is participating in the club practices. 3 8 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning has stated they are signing him the day the possibly can. The thing I'm worried about is his KHL team not releasing him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue we have next however is the World's as mentioned by Stierlitz here: 6 hours ago, Stierlitz said: His KHL contract expires on April 30. If he is called up to the national team for the world championship, there would be another contract with Russian Hockey Federation. Especially as we don't appear playoff bound. We'll likely sign him shortly after that and play him next season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the Worlds had been confirmed by the IIHF with them saying they can easily turn it into a bubble environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely need to take the appropriate amount of time with these things to properly assess them. Let him sit and fully recover. I would be totally ok with him just taking it easy until training camp this year. I think that’s in the Canucks interest not sure it’s in the interest of his current team though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 While I’m sure we all want him back playing as soon as possible, it’s somewhat encouraging to see that he’s still being held out, now one week post-concussion, especially after that confusing “three days” statement initially. Pretty clear now that Podkolzin and SKA are actually following concussion protocols, and not using some dodgy “one size fits all” three day recovery window. I don’t like seeing him injured and out of the lineup, but at least it appears that he won’t return to game action until he’s fully recovered from his concussion, is free of symptoms, and gets medically cleared—which is a good thing. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm or deny this? It doesn’t expire yet, but it is relatively common for young players to be released from the KHL once their team’s season is done. It is how we got Tryamkin. Not sure if it will be the case here. Benning has certainly stated a couple of times that he will try to sign him the day after his contract expires and not wait until next year.

HockeyHarry Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I wonder if Pods agent Igor Larionov would be able to persuade SKA to release him after there season ends. Even if its only a few days or weeks earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Larionov has official contract with Russian Hockey Federation as the head coach for the national junior team and one of the coaches for the Russian national team. He is not an agent anymore, since September 2019. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 If we could trade Pearson before the deadline to get an asset back I wouldn't mind getting Podkolzin here earlier and put him on BO's line. Let's see what the kid can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
