Involved in a Package for Hall?? I don't really like Hall to be honest but that's the only kind of player I could see that happening for this year.

fanfor42 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Pod was better today than yesterday. I think he is having trouble playing with junior level players. He may need to play with AHL and NHL caliber players before he starts to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's at his best in 1 on 1 situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fills a void on our team and is one less roster spot we need to worry about once he is ready. We will have a strong team for the next 10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He moves up the ice well. He appears to be on the 3rd line but the Russians rotate thru their rosters pretty consistently. Their line loaded with CHL players really standout. Sorry but both Tryamkin and Podkolzin should be playing their hockey in the CHL, not Russia. Better for their NHL long term goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I am starting to worry a little about Podz production. Even with his peers he isn't scoring. Is it silly to be concerned? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't eligible to play in the CHL. or are you talking about when he was younger? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel more comfortable with coaching over here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you guys, based on everything I kept hearing I expected him to dominate this tourney. Hoping to still see something in the next couple days, thinking that maybe its the jet lag... but with that hope its just making more excuses. Its easy to see a player with a very impressive toolbox, non stop motor, impressive hands. I'm just left questioning his hockey sense a bit, he tries to do way too much on his own and doesn't utilize his team mates enough. Besides a few really great flashes here and there I don't see him as an elite point producer in the NHL. With all that being said he is still only 18 and I think there is still a ton of room for him to grow. His tenacity and relentless pursuit will be a great addition to the Canucks when he makes the jump to North America. I may not be hyped about his production but he is exactly the type of player you want on your team during the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes got so much time to put it all together. Even if he doesn't pan out as a 1st liner he can still become a bigger nastier more skilled Jannik Hansen and I'm ok with that.

Podz reaches his ceiling and he's a top notch first line winger, who contributes to us winning. Podz settles to his floor and he's a top notch third line winger, who contributes to us winning. Either way, he's a guy who help us win, and replaces guys who are currently wingers for us that will be ageing out in a couple years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about context, there is literally nothing to worry about. Wait for the World Juniors 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes gonna be a stud whether he plays top 6 or hard matchups hes the type of player you want on the ice with the game on the line. You dont win in the playoffs with 12 Brocks and 6 Quinn Huggs. Bo Horvat also struggled to score his first few seasons as a pro now he is wearing a C. Players who play hard minutes take time to adapt to being a pro. And everything about Pod screams pro to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with his peers he isn't scoring. Is it silly to be concerned? I don't think it's silly. There were some red flags with his production and why he dropped so much in the draft and he isn't doing anything to erase those concerns. He's starting to remind me of JV. A guy who was drafted because scouts got all hot and horny about a players physical tools and ignored the rest. Like JV it there was always some excuse why he wasn't producing from coaches and deployment to teammates but as we've seen with JV most of that has held true. He's a decent 3rd liner and an ok 2nd line player. Not a bust but not good for a 6th overall pick. I can see the same trends with Pod, has a lot of tools to get excited for but the production isn't matching and there always seems to be an excuse why. In the end Pod has a really high floor so he should at least be an NHL player but unless his production starts matching his tools it's unlikely he becomes much more than a 3rd line player and we'll be looking back wishing be grabbed Caufield, Soderstrom or Heinola. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
