Remember this kid having a reputation as a pain in the rear. Relentless attacker, lots of energy. Hasn't managed to make it work in the NHL though.

This might be goodbye Holloway.


Podzolkin was one of the only unlucky Canucks last year just to note. 0.960 PDO on a team where only a few guys were under 1.

Basically a gamble on another guy who COULD make the roster. He played a full season in 2021-22, but was down to 39 games in 22-23 splitting time in the AHL, and then last year just 19 in the big leagues and the rest of the time on the farm. Only 2 measly assists in those two games too.

Still, someone who could rise to the occasion possibly. Curious how this impacts the Holloway decision, if at all.

4 Cups

6'-1" 190 lbs
Right Winger
Drfated #10 over all by Canucks in 2019

Most recently in Abbotsford in 44 games.. 15g + 13a = 28pts

Super cheap at $1M..

These are some scouting reports from his draft year (Elite Prospects).. take 'em for what its worth..
At least skating doesn't seem to be an issue based on 2019 reports..

Quote:

A skilled winger who plays with an edge. Podkolzin combines his fine hockey sense, puck handling and shooting with an aggressive, in-your-face, type of game. He competes hard, is very difficult to play against and has the tools to be a high scoring player. (EP 2019)

He can bulldoze through a defenseman on his way to the net
—Hockeyprospect.com 2019

A force to be reckoned with each time he is on the ice, his explosive skating and speed help him carry the puck with ease
—Future Considerations 2019

He takes powerful strides to get up ice and needs only a few steps to reach his top speed
—McKeen's Hockey 2019

Very strong on the puck.. plays the hard way.. fierce but disciplined.. sound puck management.. possesses an effective move to his forehand
—Draftin Europe 2018

He’s a complete winger with all the qualities that you want in a player
—Craig Button - TSN 2018

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.

If he was firing on all cylinders and meeting all expectations he wouldn't be on the trade market. Competitive teams aren't giving away good players without a reason.

That said, maybe timing will be better during his stint on the Oilers and he finds his next level.

It's all a roll of the dice.

The way to look at this is to compare to what we’ve given up. A fourth round pick is a toss up to play NHL games at all, and it might be 2028 before we see a single one even if that pick was to become a player. This is low risk for a player on a very manageable salary who has NHL experience. Not a bad gamble.
