Hopefully, if Pod ends up sitting out the first couple games, it’ll just mean he’s destined to have a similar level of NHL success to Boes.

He might even sit out for a couple of games while he’s practicing with his new team and learning.... and that will be perfectly fine, although I’m sure that we will have Twitter meltdowns over it. Only 5 players are ahead of him. Miller,Petey,Boeser,Horvat and Hoglander. If they sit him for the first few games we have a big big problem on our hands. The kid is fine he doesn't need to sit and watch. Green already said they will put him in a position to succeed. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That remains to be seen. At least there is a full training camp and pre-season this year to try him out in different spots in the top 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play him with energy guys, play him on a checking line, play him with skill guys, whatever we need he will do. I'd bet he will be a coach's favourite by the end of training camp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that but he hasn’t played a minute in the NHL. We won’t have a big problem if he sits out the first game or two and then starts on the 4th line for example. Im very optimistic about Podz but there’s absolutely zero reason to create a problem if he doesn’t get gifted a spot on the 2nd line from the get go.

That will be the same position Green put Rafferty in to succeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, neither is Podkolzin - ranked fiftieth top prospect - the one and only Vancouver candidate. Rafferty tore up the AHL in his rookie year - something no other Vancouver defensive prospect has done while being a big plus player - he was sure as heck our top projectable prospect in Utica - if you don’t know that, then you never watched Utica’s 2019-20 games. Unlike Juolevi, Rafferty can actually skate at an nhl level. The only comparable Vancouver prospect that played at that level in Utica was Rathbone (but Rathbone only managed that over a handful of AHL games) - Rafferty did it over a full season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't hang your hat on prospect projections, they change all the time. Was that ranking before the KHL playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beary Sweet Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Late to the party but congrats to Podz! It’s only the beginning for this kid. His hockey career and marriage is just kickstarting everything for him. So excited to see him this upcoming training camp. Go Podz! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how his young wife will adjust to living here? I’m thinking younger players’ wives and girl friends will include her in stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arturs and his wife both speak Russian, but I am guessing they will be in Abbotsford, otherwise I could see some natural bonding there 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
