Podz 19 pts +6Well the rookie drafted 1 spot before him has more than double the goals and almost triple the points so …
Cool to see him doing well.
Back in the 2016 draft he went #116 overall but I loved his skating and had him rated ahead of Brett Howden (#27 overall from the same Moose Jaw team). But the rest of his WHL career kinda flopped and he even ended up there for his overage year, which is usually the kiss of death for a drafted player, and I thought I got it really wrong there.
But he's really turned it around and turned into a buzz-saw speedy checker for SJ.
For the last 47 games, Canucks have been winning at the same pace as Tampa Bay.
Podkolzin with 16 minutes tonight and more than Garland. I am on the Pod train
Looks like Halak did absolutely nothing today, as per usual. Really disappointed in his stats today, esp the .000 SV%.
Meh. Why risk injury? He's a bonefide NHL player now.Pod can also play in Abby for their playoff run. A long run will do wonders for a kid like him.
I don’t think they papered him down for nothing. Barring a freak accident, playing him in the AHL playoffs helps our farm team and gives Pod a chance to take on full offensive and leadership minutes. Its a no brainer to me.Meh. Why risk injury? He's a bonefide NHL player now.

I think Pod and Garland have more chemistry than Boeser and Pod doSo I’d have to agree with everyone that Podkilzin was looking like the player he was projected in his draft season as a top 3-5 pick. You can tell he’s working so hard and developing right in front of our eyes. I feel like he’s found a home with Horvat and Garland on that second line. I’d switch Garland for Boeser if he comes back, Garland generates more by himself.
