Only if you can use him as incentive to convince someone to take Hughes off our hands..... guy’s a +/- disaster. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to rant on his being russian, and how they never pan out here 'cuz Shirokov and stuff... plus, if we didn't trade him, how would that improve our chance at a lottery pick!?!?! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) 37 minutes ago, dpn1 said: With Greener preferring to play people on their strong side, will Podz play LW? What do you all think? There are some interesting future roster options where playing Podkolzin at LW make a tonne of sense. For example, if Kole Lind becomes a top-6 quality RW, and Boeser, Virtanen, and MacEwen are all still components of the team, then RW could be awfully crowded (especially if Gaudette is also in the RW mix, if he’s not at centre). Could make for a situation where Podkolzin fills a greater need at LW. And, with Höglander and Podkolzin at LW in the top-6, and good overall depth on the wings, it could open up JT Miller to be used as a centre option for an offensively productive third line, resulting in a very deep top-9 that can score in waves. Edited March 2, 2021 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Removed discussion of McDonough. While I still like the idea of using his shot on his off wing, it’s unlikely he’d be played at RW, except on the power play, and like plays evens at his natural LW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Blankenship Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I imagine opposing teams are gonna hate this guy. Not because he’s a dirty player, but because he’s an absolute horse on the defensive side of the puck. He’ll be a nightmare for dmen to deal with on the forecheck. Also doesn’t seem like much of a pushover which is a nice change of pace. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Kenny & Sid. Do you think Podz starts in the top nine or will he be similar to Bo and start on the forth line. Hogz has been a surprise but Podz may not be as productive to start. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the coaches, whoever they are at that stage of the game, they will be the ones to make those choices. Otherwise, everything is speculation.

Boz has a lot of work cut out ahead of him to keep up with high energy players like Podz and Hogz. He better keep his feet moving and make good plays to help to keep the puck possession in the offensive zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podz and Hogs will just dig out pucks and set up Bo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I think you could plug him in anywhere and he would contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big guy and he likes the front of the net! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to have some quality size and skill in the pipelines, this team needs it bad. Wish we had a little more nasty in our current lineup. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to have some quality size and skill in the pipelines, this team needs it bad. Wish we had a little more nasty in our current lineup. Podkolzin plays either wing. Fortunately, the cap issues will force JB to take away Green’s security blankets - Eriksson, Roussel, Sutter, Beagle, Pearson, and replace them with younger, cheaper players. That will leave room for guys like Gadjovich, Lind, Jasek, McDonough, Kunz, Michaelis to fight it out over forward spots. Not wishing him any ill will, but Ferland’s ongoing concussion problems might cause him to seek other employment - which is too bad, we need a guy with his aggression and willingness. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to know we have some depth with potential. You’re spot on with Ferland, would be nice to have him healthy and in the lineup. Would help guys play a little bigger and meaner.

Googlie Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Miller Pettersson Boeser Podkolzin Horvat Hoglander Gadjovich Jasek Lind Motte. Beagle MacEwen That would be my preference (would mean the departure of Sutter, Pearson. Jake and Gaud, though). If this setup would be contemplated, then in Utica for the remaining games swap Gadjovich for Baertschi and let that trio gain some traction as a line. Motte and Beagle already have great chemistry together. And coming thru the system would be Focht, Costmar and my man, Linus, at Center and Lockwood, McDonough, etc on the wings Edited March 3, 2021 by Googlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
