Great shot good play maker and a motor that is in the Hoglander range. I think he is going to surprise a lot of fans. This guy will be a fan favorite very quickly. Now lets win the draft lottery! I would like Benier. Our center ice would be complete. You forgot that Podkolzin is a dominate puck possessor and can play a 200 foot game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyHarry Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Green suprised me last camp having Hoglander on the 2nd line. Hoggy kept the spot through hard work. So who knows which line Podkolzin starts , just don’t expect Him on the 1st PP. Edited May 31, 2021 by HockeyHarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedinyoureyesontheprize Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 My guess is that the way VP is able to recover pucks on the attack will enable him to play a complimentary role and have success on the top two lines. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point about Pod’s puck retrieval skills. That’s really helpful on the PP too. Green will likely play Pods on PP2 as net front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna one up you and state that Podkolzin will be the driver on his line from day 1 (not a player in a complimentary role). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat and Miller centering 2nd/3rd lines...and a Sutter signing on the cheap ($2.0M AAV maximum) for 4th line center. That will give the Canucks the depth they need down the middle. Acquiring wingers on short term deals will be more efficient and cost effective, IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have my way, we move Ferland for Killorn +, Lind + for Jenner and go with: Miller, Pettersson, Boeser Pearson, Horvat, Hoglander Killorn, Jenner, Podkolzin Highmore, Beagle, Motte MacEwan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going a more reserved route. 70gp -12g 12a Starts on the 4th finishes on the 3rd. See a little 2nd line and 2nd pp time. 12mins a night av. I would agree something close to this. Just add 140+ hits and 50+ blocks for the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think they go with Sutter at 3Cif he comes in cheap. I like Sutter's game, so I'm fine with that at the right price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthycanuck Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 14 hours ago, Kootenay Gold said: He may not put up many points in his 1st year as he adjusts to the play over here but man; all the other things he brings to the table are things that were sorely lacking these past few years. I have no unrealistic expectations for him. If he continues to play like he did in Russia, he will be a major improvement in whomever he replaces (likely Virtanen). Not all the value in a player can be found on the score sheet. I agree. If he even gets double digit goals, consider him a success. Podz value will be his hard work at puck retrievals, controlling along the boards, forechecking etc. His numbers might not flatter at first but his play could lead to more wins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
