Guest Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Anyone else watch those Podkolzin highlights? He is as hard on the forecheck as Motte, and that's the highest praise that I can give haha Motte's tenacity, Bo's skillset. Can't wait for two years to go by!

Can't wait for two years to go by! i saw a lot of blues during playoffs this year and he reminds me a lot of tarasenko like how he protects the puck and make plays. This guy is a machine. I was stunned when canucks picked him with the history of russians with this team. Wish him all the best and prove haters wrong 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is now 6' 1" and 196 pounds, only 6 weeks since his 18th birthday, and already in his 2nd (3rd?) year playing with men. He's built like a brick $&!#house and (although I am loathe to mention that a-hole's name) reminds me of Messier. Captain material, non-stop motor, hits like a truck, highly skilled, anything to win attitude with a bit of a mean streak? Yes, please! Oh Baby (as Larshied used to say). I can't wait either. (Hope we can get him out of his 2nd year of his KHL contract.) Edited August 8, 2019 by Goal:thecup Corrected weight to 196 lbs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hope we can get him out of his 2nd year of his KHL contract.) I don't see a need to get him out of the 2nd year of his contract. We would get 3 ELC years when he joins right when EP and Hughes get their 2nd contracts (and who knows how crazy it'll be). Having a top 6 on an ELC will be a huge bonus. He's developing in a men's league and likely being put in good situations to succeed (as they want him to be an important player for them in the Olympics it seems), so he likely can step in immediately here when he does make the jump. It's kind of like a player coming out of college and is more mature and can step into the league right away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be fun watching his successes at the KHL and world championships/Olympics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any kid just turned 18yrs, that is 6'1 and 190lbs is gonna be a big bruiser by the time he gets into his 20s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood the need for height and weight inflation. There was no intent to inflate. A lot of the sites listed in a Google search for Podkolzin + 205 lbs list several players and show the "Podkolzin" and the "205 lbs" in bolded type. So in a broken paragraph/description you can see "Pokolzin", then some broken sentence bits, or other players, and the "205 lbs" actually applies to another player in the list. I may have picked it up by accident from something like this then posted it without looking it up. Again, sorry for the inaccurate information but there was no intention to mislead anyone. Still, all said, 196 is a solid weight for his age and height and he looks very strong on his skates. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
