I really liked the look of his game in that highlight package, seemed to be much more dynamic with the puck that what I saw in a lot of his pre draft highlights. He has a ton of speed, power and control with the puck, and uses his linemates well. They had no finish, or he would have had 2 or 3 points.
If continues to develop the power game he plays, he will A) have a ton of room playing with EP and BB, or B) create a ton of room for EP and BB with his driving style. Either way, he is a very exciting prospect. Canucks are going to have a very heavy, fast top 9 forwards in a couple of years with Horvat 215, Boeser 210, Ferland 215, Virtanen 230, Miller 220. I'd expect that Podkolzin will be about 210 by the time makes the team.
