Justin Bailey would have had more impact for our team than Podkolzin in these playoffs. Not an indictment, just a fact that he is young and raw.
I seriously believe he should be in the AHL (maybe not in COVID world but in the before times) to further develop his offensive game. He is being hyped as being NHL ready because he can play a grinding game, but that isnt all you want from a top 10 pick. If he makes the team he'll be pigeon holed into that role and will not get the opportunity to find the production game he might given better chances
