Popular Post CaribouCanuck Posted August 18 Popular Post Share Posted August 18 (edited) I know a 4th round pick isn't an amazing return in any case but honestly why is everyone acting so shocked by this? he didn't work out here and he showed little to no signs of figuring things out at the NHL level and the team's forward group seems pretty set with no room for him any way. And it's not like he played a super important role on the team to begin with. Maybe I'm missing something but to me this feels like a very meh trade with no real impact of any kind unless this is a prelude to a second trade.

Rip The Mesh Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 There has to be more to it. Makes no sense to get 0 back! I could see Podkolzin wasn't improving much, but WTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch this guy breakout playing with McDavid or Drasaitl! Zack Hyman he is not…and I love Podz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m never a chicken little type but this is all weird People had this reaction when we traded Shinkaruk to Calgary too. 1 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 1 minute ago, Nucker67 said: 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. He seems to have all the tools, but I have noticed he doesnt know how to use them all at the same time Kind of like Virtanen But I liked Podz, he seemed like a good guy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something? Podz was developing a little slow but was developing. He had to have more value than that??? That's it! Alvin needs the Cap space. Gotta be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijjibo Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 7 minutes ago, HKSR said: Then why trade him at all? Just let him play in Abby. No difference unless we think a 4th round pick has that much value. Likely wouldn't make it through Waiver to play in Abbotsford. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I can not wrap my head around this .. This can’t be a knee jerk reaction ., If he was in the crosshairs for a trade then why didn’t they use him as leverage to get Broberg (Dman now St Louis) who openly wasn’t going to sign in EDM. a 4th ??? Wtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Roger Neilsons Towel Posted August 18 Popular Post Share Posted August 18 At first glance I absolutely hate it. I have to think that there has to be another trade coming to make this make sense. Management has at least earned the benefit of the doubt from me at this point, but there’s gotta be another piece to this because otherwise it’s god-awful. 6 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
