He was a throw in. It's about freeing up 2.5 schmill

Agree, and the draft pick.

 

[MessierII]

Yeah he's a nothing prospect. Probably released as soon as we can.

 

[Diamondillium]

He exists, no doubt about that.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Likely St. Louis insisted he be included so they don't increase their number of contracts.

 

[belair]

Future second liner in the SPHL.

Nothing to see here.

 

[Tyrolean]

You never know ...

 

[Digger12]

I expect he'll be packing someone's groceries within 4 years. Once an Oiler, always an Oiler.

 

[The Batman]

So, um... yeah.

 

[48g90a138pts]

Not sure why on some radio and posts are saying he's a RHD. All websites have down as either a LW or C/LW.

Well, welcome to the Oilers Zach.

bingo


we didnt retain salary. had to take something back

 

[The Batman]

So this guy is 6 feet and only 150-160 pounds?

2014 article has him at 162lb https://www.nhl.com/blues/news/blues-agree-to-terms-with-pochiro/c-710224

In the 2 years since then I would kind of expect him to be at least 180 by now. The Nuge would look massive next to this kid

the listing i saw was 6'2" 172
definitely skinny.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Doubt he will even play a game with our echl squad. Just included for contract limit purposes.

 

[tinfish]

We should play him with Mcdavid for 10 games to increase his value

Didn't seem to work well for Yakupov. Pochiro's value would then net us... Yakupov.

 

[tinfish]

Then we play Yakupov with McDavid until he scores 15 goals and get a free 2nd rounder. Savy move, chia.

 

[Mowzie]

Early projections have this guy getting dumped by his girlfriend in grade 11 because he's too nice and stuff.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

Didn't seem to work well for Yakupov. Pochiro's value would then net us... Yakupov.

If there was a Yakupov who was mismanaged by some other team I would easily trade Pochiro and a 3rd for him

 

[Young Lions*]

Why do we need a thread for a guy who will never play in Edmonton?

 

[fancy dan]

Yeah i did.

 

[Faelko]

He's the equivalent of Gernat in the Maroon deal

 

[MettleMcOiler]

He's the equivalent of Gernat in the Maroon deal

Just imagine for a moment...if this guy...against all odds...becomes a legitimate nhl player for the oilers. What an awesome story that would be. It would also show if the oilers development program is working. It would be rather awesome if we start churning out nhl players from our drafting and trading consistently. Always want anyone who has a chance to wear the oil drop to succeed. Started from the bottom and proved everyone wrong.

 

[BCNeil]

I feel sorry for the guy. I am sure he wasn't expecting this sort of attention.
Odds are Zach will never play at the NHL level.
