I don’t know who that is - it’s ok, I don’t need a link, I’m not really interested.

But I’m much more up for Podkolzin playing 3rd, or even better 4th line minutes his first year in NA. Maybe he earns a bit of PP2 time. Maybe he moves up the lineup later in the season, or to cover injury.

How about we let the kid earn his spot in camp.

I agree, he was supposed to be this big upgrade in the top 4 , man I had to look up who that #88 plug was on d, thought it had to be one of the up and comers.
I have a lot of fun with my Canuck Buddies discussing this, fishing will be a lot of fun this season.

Let's see what Schmidt can do over an 82 game sched in a 'non' Covid year and with a healthy Pettersson before judgement is served...

No fan of gifting anyone a spot...

Now onto my hypocrisy lol
I prefer lines that use duos & the 3rd wheel to compliment & gel the line into a force. Pod being that.

MILLER EP Pod
Hog BO BOESER
PEARSON (GRANLUND) Lind
Gads ??? MOTTE

something along those ideas subject to change of course lol

Roger that, his KHL coach.

I guess that will be excuse #1 next year:

And if he has a poor showing that excuse #1 will be vehemently defended as a fact .

Oh, I see, so covid made him look bad or was it not having EP40 to pass to. Face the facts he’s way overrated, way over paid and set to become the new whipping boy of Carols blogs. Benning getting close to getting rid of dead weight only to add new dead weight. 4 more years of 6 mil for an average d, not good roster management. I’ll take 3 more years of 4mil for Tanev instead and I don’t think Treliving is doing a very good job either.

Nah, lets judge him based on a shortened poop show season with little practice time

What if he actually does really well? Will the coach get credit for working with him on the little things, not rushing him into something he wasn’t ready for?

Or will that just be overcoming adversity.

Anyway, I’m not concerned. I didn’t expect Höglander to have a major impact and was happily surprised to see him demonstrate he belongs in the NHL. Hopefully the same thing happens next year.

lol exactly. Easy to pounce all over it without seeing the intangibles.

And the fact that he turned his back on the team and skipped out on exit meetings. Read that somewhere, can’t remember where. Obviously shows what a selfish sob he is.

It’s fine if he a good excuse

Podz will be a star , built to win and lead .
Calder finalist, and top defensive forward on the Canucks. 🤩

Excuses are for the weak! If you don’t believe me that’s fine.

If he can have a similar rookie impact as Hog that would be sweet l, anything more will be gravy

A few of you Tampa fanboys may want to have a look at this.

How’s he doing with Russa at the wc? Too lazy to look it up.

A few of the Schmidt fanboys just don't get it.

Canucks fans get what they deserve.

And if he doesn't have a good excuse he can come here and get one.

His upper body looks thicker to me.

We have the worst fans in the league and it’s not close. That’s a dad worried about his daughter. People need to (frank) off

Doing relatively well despite being jerked around when it comes to ice time, Russians don't like it when a prospect refuses to sign an extension with his KHL club and plans to go over to the NHL so soon.

Yeah violating someone's 1st Amendment rights isn't a great look but it is Florida.
