Bob Long Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I guess they had the depth chart meeting today and saw waivers in his future. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyClarke Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 He’s waiver eligible and won’t make the team so we would likely lose him for nothing if we held on to him. He might make the Oilers because of their lack of depth. I wonder if this means they won’t match Holloway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwijjibo Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Just now, wai_lai416 said: ok fine still.. why are we trading to edmonton? there's 0 interest in the league for a young power forward with upside? How much upside is there really. He requires waivers so either he's on your team or you risk losing him for nothing. The value seems pretty accurate. It's Ottawa's 4th. Maybe no worse teams than Ottawa offered a 4th. It's not like hrs likely to be an impact player so who cares that it's to Edmonton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly seems like step 1 of something otherwise I don't get it. I dunno man... But this doesn't make a lot of sense on its own. There has to be a "we moved Podz to do...x" move. Otherwise I'm not sure why you bother? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoasting Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 13 minutes ago, HKSR said: 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. But he hasn’t shown anything like that as of yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured he wasn't long for this world when they went out and signed all those depth guys It's possible. I actually thought he was pretty close but not Swedish enough??

qwijjibo Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 2 minutes ago, Jaimito said: Surprised. Why give up on him so early? He's the same draft class as Hoagy. The return is low. Will see the big picture once the season roster is set. Hopefully it's part of a bigger plan. Waiver requirement and the fact that he's dhown very little in the past few seasons to suggest he can be I. Vancouvers top 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombieksa Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I like Podz but we have 9 NHL caliber wingers on contract including 4 who were just signed this offseason. He was likely winger #10 on the depth chart and likely lower if Lekk shows he is close. We also know this front office is proactive and looking for more depth on LHD. The cap space is a good start, and maybe they weren't sold on the likes of Kulak for that spot. I think there will be more moving parts in Vancouver, Edmonton, and around the league leading up to the Oilers' Tuesday deadline looming. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking that was a possibility as well. I would say that this trade virtually guarantees that Edmonton is letting someone walk from those Offer Sheets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangnabit Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Hopefully they're planning on using the pick as part of a package for another deal or something. On it's own seems like a pretty bad return. They've done things like this that turn into larger deals so I'm not too worried YET. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear cap, clear a contract spot, get an asset for a player that doesn't factor into management's plans and could be lost to waivers.

Popular Post Rip The Mesh Posted August 18 Popular Post Share Posted August 18 That and maybe he made too much for the Abbotsford Canuck. I didn't think Podkolzin had much chance on the parent team. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than a third. Especially to a division rival. There’s gotta be another trade coming to make this make sense for me. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SV. Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 The team could have maybe squeezed out a 3rd somewhere, but other than that, the return is about fair at this stage He isn't better than what we plan to roll with, so it's fine to move him for a pick. Good luck to him. Maybe something more planned in the UFA market for us with this bit of cap flexibility added. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
