Value of: Vasili Podkolzin as RFA next summer?

[TS Quint]

Where the hell is Minnesota and Montreal in the standings right now?

Wow, that’s pretty impressive how far that went over your head.

Podkolzin is already a bottom six forward in terms of what he will contribute for us. Anything more than that as far as progression is welcomed, but I want to echo that the OP speaks for no one but himself concerning Podkolzins future here.

True blue let’s be honest. 10th picks is usually top 6 material, or top 4 dman, etc etc. but yes, any progression is welcomed.

But man, truly top 10 pick is no gaurantee.

I mean he was ranked top 10 on a lot of pre-draft lists, if they reached on him then sure clown them.

I wanted Boldy myself but I don’t remember the Canucks getting much hate for the pick at the time.

I’d bet the vast majority of nhl teams had him ranked top 15

Pod was considered a steal at 10. He was ranked higher than that, especially early on in the year. Scouts liked his "NHL body", and the rest of his physical tools looked right.

Wild were thrilled to get Boldy at #12, but if he and Pod were still available, I wouldn't have bet against them picking the latter. One worked out, the other didn't. Broberg was the off the board pick, as well as Seider, at the time. One worked out, the other, not so much.
