Maddogy Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 This guy's balance is incredible. He seems to have a low centre of gravity. He gets back on his feet real quick. His stick work is better than Elias Pettersson. His hockey IQ and vision are exceptional. I am not sure about his shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite hockey IQ/vision, instant reactions, awesome hands, and the easygoing layback attitude of a pit bull going after a bone. And yes, JB's ability to provide a continuing series of players like Brock, Petey, Huggy and Hogs producing like stars while collecting ELC salaries ensures that the JB hating "realistic fans" will be fabricating pretexts to whine about him for years to come. Most of us saw the skill but over on HF (yes it's a cess-pool but lots of great people as well) it was tempered with people ragging his size and defensive game. I have been floored by this kid, on the big ice he sometimes looked out of place but he has completely elevated his game without the puck. I think he would be great on the PK. I like Pearson and if we can convince Seattle to take Rousel id like him with Sutter on the 3rd line next season. (Yes I'm a Sutter fan) but a 2nd line of Bo, Podz and Hogs, has the potential to be something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is far more likely that he starts on the 3rd line with Sutter (re-signed) and MacEwen or the 4th line with Motte and Beagle at the start of the season. His dog on a bone style would fit nicely there while he becomes more accustomed to the NHL pace and style of play. He may move up the line as he makes adjustments during the year. Next season's training camp should give CDC'ers a better idea of where he fits in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his feet wet, as long as he holds his own, I can see him getting to start next season on the 2nd line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwipeout Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 podkolzin-Bo-hoglander seems like a great 2nd line.....next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Pod being on the 3rd or 4th line next year. Akin to Horvat when he entered. Motte-Beagle-Pod could be a line. 3rd line could be different next year.

Eventually I want to see him on the top line with miller moving to play with Bo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaninMex Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I think I am in the Hoglander thread but unsure with all the Podz talk. I will post here anyways. Loved how Hoglander came out of the box and onto the PK. His 20 sec??? there looked good. If Hoglander can sharpen up his D a bit more I think he could be a legit threat there. Kinda like a Motte with more of a scoring touch. Wowza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An eventual Hoglander, Horvat, Podkolzin line has everyone on their natural side. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbllpp Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Really like what I’ve seen from this guy so far. kid’s a pin ball bouncing through checks and you can see the skill every time he touches the puck. Best player to ever play for the Canucks was only 5’10”, not worried about size with this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Today, Nils is ranked 6th most likely to win the Calder by sports books. He's ahead of Sorokin, Cozens, Vilardi, Hayton, Romanov, Byram, Zegras, Tippet, Byfield, and several others of note. No wonder JB thought he could (paraphrased), 'part with that 1st for Miller because he felt like he got 2 first rounders in Podkolzin and Hoglander'. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing about this is he supposedly does have a good shot. We just haven't really seen it yet... ...which means we could be seeing it at some point on top of what we've seen so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
