Popular Post Supreme17 Posted August 18 Popular Post Share Posted August 18 (edited) This has 4D chess written all over it. I think sadly Podkolzin is going to wash out, he just doesn't seem to have the special traits needed to be more than what we have seen from him. So with that in mind, if we can see that, management must also, given the speed at which they make moves once they put a plan together they must have additional moves lines up. Don't forget, this complicated Edmonton's cap further does it not? Edited August 18 by Supreme17 2 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Red Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 So, does this mean Oil won't match Holloway? Why TF are we helping them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Podz didnt look like an NHLer at all outside of his rookie year. Kind of surprised to see only a 4th in return. Normally former top 10 picks get overvalued cause teams think they can make them a player. Sucks to see him traded to EDM. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Warhippy Posted August 18 Popular Post Share Posted August 18 This is such a confusing trade for what looks like just making a trade. Gives the Oilers a great "player with potential" and the ability to shrug off Holloway's loss. but gives Vancouver absolutely positively nothing worth even considering. A 2025 4th round pick? Why? Is there a trade with Ottawa coming for them to get their pick back for an offer sheet in 2025 or? Again, this makes almost no sense for Vancouver at all because they have so little true depth on the wings, zero quality prospects worth speaking of outside of Lekkerimaki, Pettersson and Willander and a serious burning need for players on cheap contracts and ELCs While Podkolzin might not be a needle mover he is something that the Canucks org does not really have. Such a weird move. 6 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Increases cap space to about $200k and frees up a contract. They are sitting at 48/50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let him play in Abby. No difference unless we think a 4th round pick has that much value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amebushi Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Did we need a 4th round pick and a million in cap space to put the finishing touches on a secondary trade? Am I missing something? Podz was developing a little slow but was developing. He had to have more value than that??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Not concerned about losing Podkolzin, but seeing as this looks like their Holloway replacement it should have at least been a 3rd, but because lf desparation could have been squeezed to a 2nd or a 3rd and 5th 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucklehead Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Makes no sense to me. But I am not privy to what they are working on. Hopefully it will make more sense in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixonWard Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) It seems like they have decided that Podkolzin does not have the long term ability to be anything other than a bottom 6 forward. They have likely been shopping him to open up space and this was the best they could get. If the Oilers lose Holloway, Podkolzin is not the dynamic offensive talent to replace him. I'm guessing that the Canucks are in on another trade to bolster the defence and they needed capspace and roster space. We'll see.

Must be another trade brewing, they believe Karlsson can take the next step or just free up some salary and a contract slot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Only a 4th? There must be more to Podkolzin than we know. Maybe he's lacking in some areas where he'll likely never be a good regular NHL player. I know I've been disappointed in his development and production since he made his way to North America. I just wish it wasn't to one of those Alberta teams. F them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devron Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Don’t try and shed light on this. It sucks and potentially awful trade. Would have rather lost him on waivers if he didn’t make the team. But at least then we could have given him another shot 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 A 4th from SJS or CHI would have been better than EDM. Podkolzin in the playoffs might be a real pain in the ass to play against. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
