I'm not sure Podz is a "Moose" physically, but he is a big strong kid that plays relentlessly on the puck. He would need to be more physically dominant to be a Messier-type. We're talking about one of the highest point-getters in league history and a guy known for his strength on the puck. I love the comparison, but he would need to really focus on that side of his training (power skating and building muscle mass).
For what it's worth I think Messier is only one of the highest point-getters because of the era he played in and his longevity. With that said, Messier clearly had one of the best careers ever.
Personally, I would be happy if Pods turn into a 20+ goal 45+ point type who plays that aggressive puck hounding type of hockey he is capable of playing for the Canucks but I would obviously be thrilled if he's better than that.
