Well that is underwhelming, and there goes another Benning "Gem" Draft Guru he sure was... and Ron Delorme still lives on.
Boldy sure would have looked nice next to another American in Miller.
I guess this means that the Coilers are flushing away Holloway and Broberg with adding more salary before the Offer Sheet decision.

Woo who?

Trash player as well, just like Podskolzin.

The Russian era of Podkolzin, Kuzmenko and Mikheyev is officially over.

Realistically that would be Holloway and a 4rth for Podz and a 3rd...

If not stars then usually enigmas who bust for varying reasons. Stick to D & G when taking Russians. Avoid flakey soft F’s who just cannot get it. NHL isn’t the KHL floater league.

He has talent and can play, just a douce though

I liked him, can't blame him for taking that deal.

Terrible fkn pick.

I wonder what Vantel has to say after years of battling people who thought Podz was going to be a 10th OA bottom 6 player. In the end, he struggles to be even that. This will probably be the news that brings Vantel back.

Why do you guys care what an old, ignorant fack tard thinks about something. It cringe worthy when I read these Vantel fan bois post something. Go be your own man, thanks in advance.

I liked him too but he didnt want to play for the Canucks. They offered him the same salary he took from the Bruins according to Dreger. Even PA said he wanted to play elsewhere...

It wasn't about money.

TBH he never seemed like a Russian.

RIP

Some of the same people are all over his nut sack and critique others for being fans of the team.

Allvin added. “That being said, I can’t overpay one single player. Nikita was extremely good for us in the playoffs and a character guy. We did our best and he decided he wanted to go somewhere else.”

If he gets a single shift on the top 6 in Edmonton, we'll never hear the end of it.
