Why do we even bother discussing things then?

 

Edm must think somehing of him though, so theres that. 

Edmonton also thinks a rape apologist who destroyed the Blackhawk dynasty team was a good hire too, so there’s that.

What's mind blowing to me is when people actually think neither PA nor JR, or anyone else in the FO did sweet fuck all in regard to this transaction...any plebe fan on this board would've called all 31 teams, so of course PA et al did their due diligence.

 

THE MARKET spoke, the best offer was the return acquired, plain and simple.

so we had to rush into this deal 1 month before training camp even opens...All while making the EDM decision to accept at least the Holloway compensation from STL that much easier...

 

Its a short sighted move to make especially to the team we dealt him to given the circumstances. Anyone who thinks otherwise has got blinders on...what would have been wrong with great competition at training camp and then making a decision!?

WOuld Pod for J. Barron not been a deal we could've tried to make? Oh ya we chose to keep the giraffe instead...idiots running the team, new face same idiotic trades happening

This is my point.  If Montreal actually had interest in podkolzin there were deals to be made.  So suggesting edmonton is going to package him up to make Ceci more attractive seem extremely unlikely

I want GM Alvin to answer this question...If you wanted to move on from Podkolzin why didn't you include him when trading Mikheyev to Chicago!?!?

 

Instead you gave up another draft pick then gave Podz away to a division rival in a cap crunch...

 

Should have moved P. Suter out instead, Canucks GMs sure know how to piss of fans...oh and now those fans have to pay a premium for tickets with the massive increases! 

I think pissing you off do more for them then Pods.

Heinen Miller Boeser

Debrusk Pettersson Sprong

Joshua Blueger Garland

Hoglander Suter Sherwood

 

Extras: PDG, Aman, Bains, Karlsson, Raty, Lekkerimaki…

 

Simply put, he isn’t likely to win a roster spot. Asset management rather than lose him for nothing on waivers (potentially). Wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted out as well since all his countrymen are gone.

Podkolzin was penciled in as the 13th forward. He wasn’t going to pass Höglander on the depth chart. 
 

Höglander   Miller            Boeser

DeBrusk      Pettersson   Sprong

Joshua.       Blueger        Garland 

Heinen         Suter           Sherwood 

Aman

 

It would have been difficult for Podkolzin to crack that lineup. They probably prefer Aman because he is a centre.

What competition? He was replacement level at best last 2 seasons?

But Daniel Rahimi was gonna be our stud defenceman for a decade.

I had season tix in the dark days of the mid 80's, and I recall there was even chatter that Andy Schliebener was going to be one to watch 😂

 

Hope will always be eternal, until the SC finally comes home.

Podkolzin is a 23 year old who was on pace to have 0 goals and 9 assists through 82 games last year he was .6ppg at the ahl level well getting lots of pp1 time, I honestly don’t understand why everyone is so upset he’s clearly not nhl caliber and let’s say he does find a home it’s going to be 4th line duty….. relax it was a horrible use of that draft pick new regime is fixing us slowly and also creating cap space

The day the PA Honeymoon ended. 😛 

To the tune of American Pie:

 

🎵Bye bye, Mr. Russian guy

    PA drove you to the airport

    While the Coilers stood by

    And our good ole fan base

    Drank the whiskey and cried

    Singing, this will be the day he arrives

    This will be the day Podz arrives🎵

 

:classic_biggrin:

Thomas Gradin is allowed a 'mulligan' here & there (eg., Edler, Ohlund, Sedins).  If I'm not mistaken, Rahimi *did* end up being a captain of his team in the SEL?  So there was talent/skill there (it just didn't translate to the NHL level).
