Because of greed. Companies won't sponser anything unless there is something in it for them.
Trading former 1st round picks for 4th round picks is not good asset management.
I remember watching Podkolzin at World Juniors thinking he had a big future in the NHL
Surprising only that he was traded to the Oilers. GM's tend to feel a lot less obligation to holding on the 1st round draft pick prospects of the previous regime, but it's a shame he didn't work out in Vancouver. One concern about Podkolzin is that he needs to learn to keep his head up more. About once a game he's in danger of being laid out for not paying attention to his surroundings and it's kind of hard to watch.
Three top-10 picks gone to waste since 2016, and now you got Canucks talking heads saying that Klimovich is a plug who was picked several rounds early, too. Honestly, it's embarrassing.
Holloway probably is going to be a Blue. Broberg, stay tuned in next 48 hours.
I think THG will be wearing a Blues jersey and cap on Tuesday! 🙏👍
what da helll
Damn thats disappointing. I had high hopes for him when he was drafted.
10th overall draft pick traded for ball dandruff.. sigh
Hard to believe that Landeskog is the fifth highest paid player for the AVS, and he's signed through 28-29, at 7 Mil per season.
Mackinnon 12.6 mil through 30-31
Rantanen 9.25 mil through 24-25
Makar 9 mil through 26-27
Toews 7.25 through 30-31.
20 goals, 40 points season for Podkolzin, incoming
Its worth mentioning that Landeskog was video'd doing his skate recently, and he looks much MUCH better than the last time we saw him on video. Still looks like December or later to me, but hes most certainly making real progress.
Betting possible kostin 2.0 ?
Imagine if we took boldy instead ;(
Math Time Kiddies: So Kane LTIR at $5,125,000 plus moving Josh Brown to the Bake (another 1,000,000) LESS Broberg at $4,580,917 Less newly acquired Podkolzin at 1 million gives us $544,083 on the PLUS side of the cap less the almost $400,000 we were over before) still gives us about 144K to the plus side and we replace Holloway, Keep Broberg, Keep Ceci and Kulak while moving down an 8th Defender (Josh Brown) letting us field a 13 forward, 7 D, 2 Goalie squad if I read this right while being Cap compliant. The biggest Gotcha for us has to be how long Kane will be on LTIR. If it's not until playoffs something BIG has got to give. Take care all.
If you would’ve made it 3 hours later, you would have been able to cover 2 trades by the oilers
I wanted Podkolzin in 2019…..
Kinda sad about that Podkolzin trade. I hope he'll bounce back as a solid 3rd / 4th liner.
The THG Summer vacation is officially over!
I don’t think ppl realize that tons of teams lose their former 1st round players for nothing because they never panned out as expected. Pods is a North-south player much like Virtanen. If u give them the puck they’re probably just gonna shoot it and not be creative enough to make plays…
Is he fast?
I wish they would have traded digesipie instead, podkolzin is still young imo
I've never seen anything of note in Podkolzins game besides his will to drive the net. It is so incredibly foolish to write off Holloway after 2 iffy regular seasons, especially for an Oilers team that's already super old up front and on the blueline.
From top 10 pick to a 4th rounder. Oof
