I had read on hfboards that he had a bad concussion after his rookie year and took a step hack on development. Oilers having to take a lot of risks on injury prone guys this off season, hopefully it won't bite too hard next year.

Hope not injury prone. Looks like he got his legs lifted by a guy hitting him on the boards, which ended up making him land on his head. Late 2023, so it's not a big excuse for his development. He only lost a few weeks in the AHL with the injury.
Seems Canucks fans view Podkolzin a lot like Puljujarvi was viewed here. Physical attributes but can't put it together or could just not be good enough to ever do it at a high level. Kind of the same story as the other 2 guys we got offer sheets on.
