Some truth in that. But   A) I didn't swoon over Newhook, if you're to quantify him from the German game.    Zegras I ranked before he was even drafted. I liked him then and I like him now. He's clearly a quality player, you don't need  to watch him more than once to understand his skill. Podkolzyn you have to wait for a Pee Wee game to watch, I never watched Podkolzyn prior to the draft and apart from the Pee Wee game I've seen nothing. You skew his value by using the Austrian game to make a judgment ....IMHO.  But that's not to say I'm correct

Congratulations on how you rank prospects. I love when armchair scouts chime in with their two bits. It’s like, “ Well before the draft I had such and such ranked higher than this guy” it’s like who gives a flying **** what you think there’s a reason why scouts get paid handsomely by professional organizations to travel the world and watch teens play hockey for a living and make franchise altering decisions and you don’t.

So you have never watched him play, you can't even spell his name right, and what do you mean - you didn't watch the game so you still haven't seen 'nothing'...  just stop man

 

"You skew his value by using the Austrian game to make a judgment ....IMHO." isnt that what you're doing though lmfao

He must have gotten into your liquor cabinet!

It’s laughable reading posts from arm chair keyboard warriors that clearly have never stepped on the ice in their lives 

 

Somehow these clowns are now prospect experts

 

I am ordering you all (you know who you are) to cease immediately and leave the talent commentary to the few people on this forum that actually know hockey 

 

I have been busy so that that leaves approximately 5 others that are allowed to comment

 

in the meantime let me offer some advice:

 

- the scoresheet rarely tells the story

- did the player pick up his check?

- did he get into the correct offensive position?

- did he make passes or set up plays that were not converted? 
- does he handle adversity with poise?

- what Is his breakout and retreat speed?

- puck handling skill?

- ice vision?

- corner strength?

- does he lead by example?

- shot quality?

- overall hockey IQ?

 

all this can be seen and evaluated regardless of competition 

 

you are welcome for the tips you clueless fools that attempt to actually fake that you know  game (you know who you are)

 

oh, and Happy New Year

I think people have too high of expectations for Podz.  He won't be a top 6 forward this year or the next.  I see him on a similar path as Bo and Bo was not a top six forward right away.  He was on the 4th and the 3rd lines.  Expect him to develop with maybe 10 to 12 goals for his first couple seasons.  I like Podz and think he is a great prospect for us.  I just don't see him having the start that Pete and Quinn.

Yeah, Pod isn't a Petey/Hughes level prospect. Both of which would probably go much higher in a redraft. Pod will be a fantastic complementary player, perfect for Horvat.

To be fair, you don't have to have played high level hockey to know these things and not be a moron

That’s it Podz. Drive that net

ahahahahah 

[DeNiro 35,953]

Broberg better get used to Podz outmuscling him.

[debluvscanucks 63,971]

FREDDDDD, better come quick!  Might change your mind.....

[Stierlitz 3,620]

Not sure the goal stays...

[CRAZY_4_NAZZY 11,496]

Podkolzin drives hard and creates a scoring chance there...goal waved off but love how Podz 40 seconds in is already dialed into the game.

[DeNiro 35,953]

Good goal in the NHL IMO.

[Stierlitz 3,620]

Should be penalty to Sweden then...

[rekker 9,863]

Total Burr move by Pods. Nice, and it's a goal in the NHL.

Agreed but after reading post after post from clearly clueless individuals you start to wonder 

[canuck2288 8,962]

That play should have been a good goal 

 

nothing illegal about driving the net 

 

it was Broberg’s skate that contacted his own goalie

LOL they're playing the song I JUST finished working out to.  RUSSIAN SPIES.
