Fakename70 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 CDC'rs getting unnecessarily hyped behind a young new addition they really don't know that much of anything about. Kinda like with Vey and Tryamkin, remember? I even read at one of the Sportsnet Canuck forums a couple weeks ago someone actually said with a straight face the Canucks top-6 is "pretty well set." "Pretty well set" for what, exactly? We don't know anything about this kid, but, CDC'rs already have him slated for the top-6? I'm guessing those are also the same CDC'rs who want to dump Miller, and think Pettersson should be centering the top line rather than the captain. 53's capable of #1 C minutes and status in the NHL, but, GMJB absolutely HAS to put legitimate and quality top-6 players at his side. Not rookies and sophomores. To think there was a genuine window of opportunity where the Canucks could've had a top line today of Kane-Horvat-Toffoli. GMJB should be working 24/7 to put something comparable together sooner than later if this team is going to go forward with Horvat still on the roster. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they childhood sweethearts or something along those lines?

Hopefully they don’t forget how horrible so many aspects of our game was. YOU don’t know anything about this kid; many of us here have followed him since his draft year. I think there’s a difference between actually “following” a player since draft day versus merely being familiar with their name. Particularly if said player is only 19 and hasn’t even been playing in North America. Unless you’re with the scouting department, I think it’s far more likely to have “followed” Juolevi since draft day than Podkolzin. At least with Juolevi there’s a sample size from the AHL and NHL to critique. You - nor any other CDC’r - cannot convince me today that you’ve already seen enough of a 19-years-old kid from the KHL to have determined he’s NHL-ready - particularly on the top line - for next season. But, yeah, let’s totally hype him up (this is where the deadpan emoji would go). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no I don’t care about convincing you to change your mind about your projection of how Vasily will adjust to the NHL game. You may be right. Who knows. However for many, like I , the projection isn’t one of can he keep up in the NHL but rather how dominant he will be once he arrives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one of the milk carton was a picture of Loui Erikkson along the caption: Missing since 2016. Have you seen this solid two way player? Please contact Jim Benning at 867-5309. Ask for Jenny.

Nah i'd rather have two players coming up behind Horvat that can carry the mail with him (Hogs plays the L side too, natural left shot) then aging vets in their prime still. Yes it's going to take time. I don't mind waiting, that's a lot of payroll the team can use on their D where they don't have young depth coming up other then maybe Rathbone, maybe OJ... long shot Woo etc. It's not time to "go for it" yet. Not hard to find wingers .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I amhyped for Podkolzin but I think saying he will be any kind of beast especially a playoff one at this point is jumping the gun. Get him in the lineup and see where he goes with it. Unrealistic expectations are a way of life around here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanleysteamersmyl Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I remember the hype before Petty arrived in Vancity. He had won the SHL scoring title, playoff scoring title and the Swedish cup. I thought he was going to do well but not as good as he in his 1st year in the NHL. I think Pods will be the highly skill hard working power forward that will dig in the corners and get a lot of assists. Another young player to add to the young exciting core. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know we need guys like Pods (and the 9OA this draft) to be impactful to our team being better. We do have Pods recent KHL playoff performance to guide our thinking though. So for him it’s less hope, and more expectation. I’m so glad other teams were stupid and let Pods fall into our hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What impressed me was the fact that Benning under pressure to perform selected a prospect that was certainly 2 years from joining the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
