Why would a tournament against teenage competition show he’s better deserving of more ice time in a pro league. Remember when Virtanen went to the wjc at 19 from the nhl?
It sounds to me like the Yakupov claim is about the hype surrounding a prospect they thought was good but not as good as the North American hype.
It feels to me like Vancouver posters in general have a singular focus and don’t even try and understand the team situation in SKA. ie who are you benching to give Podkolzin the ice time you want? Name names or else is just reads like Podkolzin fanboyism.
I’ve tried to watch a number of games and while he looks like he can handle the khl minutes he doesn’t separate himself from his own teammates. Not too unexpected in the top league going right now as a teenager.
