RJCF96 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 10 hours ago, CRAZY_4_NAZZY said: Podkolzin had a strong preseason game starring on the first line for Edmonton vs Winnipeg. 2 assists on the night and set up the game winner. He looked like a renewed man out there. It was only 1 assist, but it is an assist on the OT winner. Both teams also iced a more AHL/Junior heavy line up, so I am curious to see how he does in week 2 of pre-season when teams are cutting down to the their opening line-up roster. I do wish him the best, he is a good kid. The only thing I dislike about this trade would be that we traded him to the Oilers. My guess is every other team who were in on him were probably offering a 5th round pick at best, so when the Oilers offered a 4th round pick, Allvin just took it.

I remember that one year where Ty Rattie had like a hatrick plus a few multiple goal games in pre-season playing on a line with McDavid. He ended the season with 4 goals, 7 Assists and 11 points in 50 games played. I remember Oilers fans were drooling that he is going to score 25-30 goals playing on a line with McDavid. Pre-season stats are meaningless. It's more important to look at how each team/players prepare for each game and look at how the coach prepares the team to play in different situations (special teams, 6 on 5 etc.). The only time I am concerned about pre-season is when my team struggle to score goals or produce offense. Due to the lack of checking/hits in pre-season, there are usually much more time/space for players to make plays. If a team really struggle to find offense in the pre-season, that's a bit of a red flag because if you can't produce offense when there is very little checking, then how are you going to score when the games gets ramped up.

I remember that one year when Fedor Fedorov told a media type he was already better than Sergei after he lit up pre-season. I still want them to bring him back on a PTO for one more try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in Aug, this deal really burned my bacon. Now w/time & reflection, sorta see it as Desharnais & a pick(4th) for Podz. Would call this fair/appropriate transaction between 2 rising rivals. Should both players perform solid in their new rosters, that'd be quite acceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call bullshit... I knew I'd hear the excuses... or you could say 'he wasn't going to do that here anyways...' You don't know shit about that. Look, he didn't show well enough or he'd still be on the team, period. Management made a decision... they know so much more then I.... but the phat lady hasn't yet sung. go Podz go!

Evidently I didn't post anything here about it, but here's a message I sent to my brother on the day of the trade, since you seem to assume I'm talking out of my ass. Who was he going to beat out? I always thought he had a chance to improve and impress, but I had a bad feeling about his development the way it had been going and we had way to much depth at forward for him to beat out. He was destined for another AHL season, or worse, losing him for nothing on waivers unless he suddenly improved out of nowhere, but from what we'd seen in Vancouver and Abbotsford, the improvements weren't there. If he shows up a 20-goal scorer this year in Edmonton, that's because he's showing something that wasn't there before. Good on him, but you can't judge Allvin for making a move based on what wasn't apparent until after the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They traded him for a fourth... The rest of what you blathered... Just hindsight talking. appreciate the banter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuchaNuxtalgia Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Reminds of that Kravty-guy we nabbed from the Rags. High hopes, once upon a time. Grab ten of these sort, & ONE will finally answer wishes. Go to ten Value Villages, & you'll finally find a cheap shirt that can be worn in style. Who's got time for that shyte?!

Maniwaki Canuck Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Looking back, I think that terrible hit and concussion he took last year in Abby sealed his fate in this organization. By most accounts he was playing well before that happened and not so much afterward. With Bains, Raty, Sasson and Lekkerimaki all contending for promotion and all the free agent forward signings he was going to be exposed to waivers and the rest is history. Too bad, I thought he was a good pick and had a good rookie season. Hope he picks up the pieces and makes a career out of it somewhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gotta Cup to chase! Apart from being Russian, there's little to compare in these two players. Unlike Kravstov, Podz is a hard-working player who desperately wants to make the NHL. Another big thing that sets him apart from Kravstov, is that Podz is not self-entilted and will do the grunt work he is asked to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
