That's a bit of a jump from where he is. Realistically, if he can make the team and not be a liability, that would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else is potentially fatal for you and all you love. These are hockey players, unfortunately we tend to raise these guys up as hero’s but they are just guys who play a game for a living. 1 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough. I respect Roman a lot so asked for detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might be joking. Podz put on the pride jersey so I doubt he's some kind of hardliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for addressing this, To many condescending people out there thinking their way of life or beliefs are superior, and like you said even if you do think that there is plenty of places to debate politics, not in a 22 year old Russian hockey players thread on a Canucks forum LOL…. 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Considerations Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Canucks should find out what they have in Podz this season before making a (deadline) trade for another forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, will also be good to bring him up into this winning hard working culture. Podz, Bains and Karlsson all deserve extended looks for their solid play in Abbotsford. Hence why I don’t mind trading Kuz for a good prospect and sitting that pizza guy in the press box more often 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bains and Karlsson are really close, could probably be called up now. Karlsson hasn't looked out of place in the couple of games he's played. I think Podkolzin needs another month or two to get fully back on track from his injury. He was close when that happened, I don't think it will take much longer for him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barn Burner Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Someone was suggesting let Podz stew for another month or so in the AHL. That's not bad, especially giving him the opportunity to rehab and get his conditioning back. He's the kind of power forward many are wanting to trade for. I don't see any reason why he won't be playing here this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. The thread is about a 22 year old Russian hockey player. His politics is on topic for those who care to address it. You're welcome to your opinion as we are to ours.

If he's annoying like some bible thumper it might be a problem, or if he goes public with something, it could harm the room. For me it just makes him trade bait if he goes weird.

A winning room is the key. And Podz can, and will help us win. Podz will be in one of the convertibles in the June 2024 Cup parade down Georgia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nergish Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Podz is such an interesting case for us. Clearly, he's our top prospect with the most draft capital invested, and has already shown he can play in the NHL. But right now guys like Bains and Karlsson are simply ahead of him. We all know the 'intangibles' that Podkolzin offers, but those guys are both quite a bit more dynamic offensively. Podz is just such a likeable character, hardworking, and can fit a 4th line role if needed. Very interesting to see if he's up with the big club at any point this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe waivers may not allow that to happen. We could see it closer to the end of the year but if my memory serves me correctly he can come up but needs waivers to go down again. And that’s not something we can risk. We need to be sure he’s here to stay when we call him up. This may mean we over cook him for the rest of the season and he earns the opening roster spot next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
