I don't think a single person has made that claim. I know I havent seen one yet.

pfft.

That's not how this works.

One side says 'fanboys think he's a top line winger, everyone says so'
Ha ha Losers!

The other side counters with 'ya'll think he's a bust'. Bunch of Whiners!

There.is.no.nuance.

Didn't we come to the conclusion Podz is nether lock or bust but has potential for top 6 and floor of top 9.

I don't think the term "conclusion" can be used in a debate like this.

In all honesty, I've heard the "Immediately slot onto Petey's wing" projections a few times but still heard zero from the group calling him a bust. Thinking that group is fictional...

The what Cup???

didn't you say to avoid conclusions.....

Needing to work on getting his shot off quicker and NOT having nautural offensive instincts are 2 different things. Which scouting report said Podz lacks offensive instincts?

30second Video clips from the KHL, that is all that's needed

Don't any of you clowns who post all day have jobs? If so I'm sure as sh+t you do don't work for me

Well not everyone works a 9-5er.
Try working out of town for lengths of time. Sacrifice something to get something. Lol

Until they are a Canuck, I don't really care. I just enjoy the assumptions.

...and? I've made no conclusions. I said which claims I've heard and havent heard. (frank) are you ever a lackwit sometimes.

I’m undecided as of now if Pod is a 3rd wheel or dynamic pairing winger.

As a 3rd wheel he compliments any of our top 3 lines. How ready he is dictates where he fits in. If he proves to be more skilled then JV gets bumped if he doesn’t wakeup.

Hoglander is a real intriguing prospect I’m anxious to see.
- Nighthawk

I kind of think that this is a unique thought here, but I agree, why not wait until the player actually comes over, practices with the club on NA ice to see what skills he may or may not have.

You have to be able to cut and paste rubber stamp reports as well... thats how you express personal opinions.

busting your balls on you only seeing one side was said and not the other.... draw your own conclusions

I think Hogz skillset is a great match for Bo's line. It might be a little early for that when his season is over but his vision and playmaking abilities are up there and he does play the boards very well in case people are fretting about losing Pearson's abilities(apparently this is a thing).

Podz >>>>> Hodz

Podz floor is a solid bottom 6 forward. Hodz floor is ECHL star forward.

Podz ceiling is similar to Bo. Solid top 6 2 way player who plays the right way and is always working on his game.

Hodz ceiling is top line PPG winger.

The odds of Podz reaching his ceiling is far more likely then that of Hodz hitting his.

I don't mind the pick, it's too soon to pencil him into the top 6, but he should be able to slot into the 3RW without much problem to get his feet wet.

I don’t think that Hodz has the skillset to play in the bottom 6. It's top 6 or bust.

I'd give Hodz a 50 50 shot of being an nhl caliber player.

I'd give Podz an 80 percent shot at being an nhl player.

My hot take of the night.

hockeybuzz...where the refs don't like people making projections about prospects and debating why they feel that way.

Again, bullpoop. If I saw a single person say he was a bust, I would make note of it and even show my doubts on that claim. But of course you are going to tell me what I have and havent seen? Go away...

Of course not All the best scouts make assumptions on 30 seconds of video, also they need to supplement with sports night highlight reels.

Nope, you are wrong...i like it a lot, so much so I want to join in and be just like everyone else.

Don't look at the referee title, it means nothing here, other than to protect Marwood.

Go back to page two or three, Don, he is a bust

I forgot that. Sorry. Good work btw. No one has put him in his place lately, except on Twitter.

I already know what Don thinks that was just sarcasm.

Huge bust. We should forfeit his rights now to save future embarrassment
