rick is legit. It mean he’s signed and will be announced on June 1st as per benning on Donnie and dhalis talk show.

 

[Hoglander]

Hell yeah. Love the way he plays. Should slide right into the top 9

 

[Johnny Canucker]

He has no ceiling.

Well.... he does lol. Hard working 3rd line winger that puts up 15 goals / 20 assists.

Absolutely hate his voice. Just loud and annoying. Can’t watch that show.

Sir, you've confused the ceiling with the floor. Vertigo... Mindfreak.

I would normally not expect much from Podkolzin but I see that other players in his draft class have managed to step into the NHL this season. I see similarities between Pods and Hoglander so I'm pretty hopeful that Pods would be an effective 2 way player like Hoglander was for the Canucks this season.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

It's time.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

This kid is going to eat pieces of shit for breakfast.

Smile!

There is conformation in Russia, tha he has signed entry level contract.

Подколзин заключил контракт новичка с «Ванкувером» (very reliable source)

He was training with national team during world hockey championship but wasn't included in the final roster. Now he has left team camp. Official announcment about the contract in a few days.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Have to wonder about what happened with his club and his playing time etc.
Now left off national team...

 

[settinguptheplay]

I made a small bet with myself that within the first page someone would find something negative to say about this news. As usual HF never disappoints.

7 goals in 68 games with Ska. Regardless of minutes or where he played in the lineup, that doesn’t scream goal scorer to me. Kinda of sick of wasting top 10 picks on guys that can’t fill the net.

In SKA they have like 50 (a little less, but still) people who can play in the first team. Radicilous (and useless) depth. Yes, his season wasn't particular great. But he was ok.
If you ask about national team, he was brought only in case of emergency. If somebody get hurt or nobody comes from NHL. Now with arrive of Orlov and Tarasenko there is no free spots in roster. So there is no need to him to sit in the bubble and doing nothing.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

He’ll get plenty of opportunities to play in the top six next year. Could see him lining up on a line with Horvat and Hoglander. But even if he settles in on a 3rd line driving possession and - hopefully - offense, that would be terrific.

For his counting stats this year he had 11 points in 35 games. The vast majority coming in the second half of the season. I think it was like 9 in 17 compared to 2 in 18 the first half. In playoffs though he came alive and went 11 in 16 getting the same reduced ice time he was getting in the regular season.
