It’s dumb.By "young players don't get to play" I assume he means "Podkolzin doesn't get to play". Plenty of young players are playing in KHL just fine.
Podkolzin averages 12 even strength minutes a game in the KHL. That’s more 5 on 5 minutes than either Hughes or Kakko played in the NHL this season.
He’s absolutely getting KHL ice time. Vancouver folks just think he should be doing in the khl what he did against considerably weaker competition in the Karjala Cup. They think he could be, but everyone is conspiring against Podkolzin in their minds.
