Crabcakes Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Just now, RolexSub said: A few years ago looked like Podz will finally crack the roster as he was scoring and hitting and playing hard and you can see him improving a lot. Until he was hit hard I forget which team we played against and he stood up for himself and fought a tough guy and had a huge black eye and a few weeks later he was sent to our farm team and from that point on he never got a chance to come back. I didn't understand why and didn't make any sense at all why he was sent to our farm by coach Tochett. And we literally gave him away to the Oilers for free because it will be a high 4th pick. I guess our management is not a fan of Russian players lately!!! One of the worst trade ever from Alvin. Look back in the thread, Allvins additions have added depth in the middle and bottom 6 which made it harder for Podz to make the team. This year, he requires waivers to be sent down to Abby so they moved him rather than losing him for nothing. He's 23 already (2019 draft). Last season was his big year and he didn't make the jump. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got what they could and the Oilers were probably the only team that offered anything. At least we now sit at around 3.5M in Cap space with Poolman’s 2.5M LTIR. This means that at around the time of the TDL, it would equate to an 8-9M player that could come our way later. That could turn us from contenders to favourites. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post D-Money Posted August 19 Popular Post Share Posted August 19 (edited) This trade, to a divisional rival, tells me 3 things: 1) Management were fairly confident that Podz would not end up one of their top-13 forwards at camp (he had a terrible camp last year), and they would likely lose him on waivers. 2) Ottawa’s 4th was the best offer they got. 3) They are not scared of this player (who scored 2 points in 19 games last season) coming back to bite them…at all. After last season, who am I to doubt their judgment? Go Canucks!!! Edited August 19 by D-Money 2 1 3 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This.... love Podz like any Canucks, but if they lost him for nothing after camp, folks would be losing their shit as well... Its clear they didn't expect Podz to be on the team after camp, and looking at the players avaiable, it was unlikely.. But Edmonton.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to take the positive spin in this one, that they'll be spending a mill against their already shit cap situation, for a guy that may not even crack their lineup, or stay as a regular on the team even if he does 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its a good call for us, as he was unlikely to crack our line up, and he was not going to pass theough waivers... Some bottom team would pick him up for nowt. on the other hand we would have to play him so many times during the season... As long as he doesn't turn into a player, management did, what they had to to do. on a side note, wonder if Alvin is collecting picks to ship out, Poolman? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
