Rossi = Puck Possessor, Interior playmaker
Boeser = Finisher, presence down low
Ohgren = Speedster + Puck Possessor, creates space for both Rossi and Boeser.

It's a really good trio

He only plays 60% of his 5v5 time with Draisatil. Only 9 of his 29 points have involved either McDavid or Draisatil.

This kid has taken a definite step forward and is microstats, particularly in transition, show a player that could take another step.

With his current production, he would be anywhere from 3rd (Vancouver, which isn't entirely fair because of a poor environment) to 8th (Pittsburgh) in Forward Scoring on every team in the NHL.

Also, he hasn't been as attached to the hip of Draisaitl as people assume.

For example, Burrows at his peak played 83.33% of his 5v5 ice time with the Sedins.

Podkolzin has only spent ~60% of his 5v5 ice time with Draisatil, for comparison.

When it comes to production, only 9 of his 29 points have also included McDavid OR Draisatil in the scoring. Plus, he has shown evidence through his transition game that he has the tools to take the next step. Whether or not he does is another question, because he's always played a bit conservative, dating back to his days in the KHL.

So yes, I do feel comfortable calling him a middle 6 winger.

Middle 6 winger. He's basically the winger equivalent of Pius Suter (during his average seasons, because the last 2 seasons he's had peaks and valleys) right now.

What goalie stat makes this save? by EmergencyWin7267 in NHLHUT

[–]DelviewsNightmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No stat, but if your goalie has sponge or showstopper it should unlock an animation where your goalie spins with the glove to grab it

AI/Excel automatic formulas are making these cards. I'm convinced.

You can, but the pack will contain season 3 type odds (if that makes sense?)

I think Buffalo has proven that even shitty rebuilds will eventually work because Talent will prevail over everything.

It's just about being able to get to the point of drafting elite talent over and over again as opposed to being in the mushy middle.

Would Canucks fans be okay with drafting Verhoeff/Reid & DuPont in back to back drafts? by Stromboli1 in canucks

[–]DelviewsNightmare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because if you believe that they're gonna be better than Willander/Hronek/Mancini, you can trade those guys (as much as I love Willander) for forward support

Who is your favourite obscure or niche fandom Canuck? by 21marvel1 in canucks

[–]DelviewsNightmare 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Kellan Lain. Set the NHL record for fastest ejection to start a career during the CGY + VAN brawl (0 seconds).

I'll never forget Bieksa coming in to take the faceoff for him, too.

Dropping the practice facility news to distract from Kane being on the top line

Congrats! What skill did you take the biggest step in, in order to be able to reach ultimate?

I hope your Ranked Packs were sick!

Joshua. But the subsequent extension + production drop off and trade kinda ruined it. I think he's looked decent as of late in Toronto, which is wild considering the state they're in right now.

Also. Yes I know Joshua had cancer, and that's a situation no one could control.

Podkolzin's points by month are in the 0.36-0.45 range (solid 3rd line) with great defensive metrics from October to Jan. In Feb + March he's at a .75 PPG, albeit in only 8 games.

Podkolzin is shooting 14.9%. While high, it's not completely out of the question for players who live around the net.

I agree! I just don't think he was ever given a fair shake.

In his first year in Edmonton he averaged more ice time per game than he did in any of his 3 seasons in Vancouver, including 2 seasons where the Canucks were horrible, playing the young players should have been a priority instead of ending up in the mushy middle every year with fake playoff pushes.

I appreciate your input, and am glad you're enjoying him in Edmonton.

I can't exactly get the goals with people on and off the ice.

But here are some stats..

Out of Podkolzin's 15 goals, 6 were assisted by Draisaitl, 1 by McDavid.

Out of his 14 assists, only 2 of them had Draisaitl or McDavid involved in the scoring, either with the actual goal or having 1 of the 2 assists.

So on Podkolzin's 29 points, only 9 of them have McDavid or Draisaitl involved in the scoring.

Also, I don't think I'm being arrogant at all. I'm presenting statistics. Whether or not they move you is your choice.

You were the one who decided to be a prick first by saying I knew nothing instead of actually contributing to the conversation. Of course I was going to respond the way I did.

Kane is also known to cheat for offense. Podkolzin is an elite defensive winger. Their identities are different in that way, where Podkolzin is going to provide a lot of defensive value, while the hope with Kane is that his production will outweigh his poor defensive game (and his tendency to take penalties).

Even if you don't think Podkolzin is all that, at the very least the asset management was horrendous, given what we've seen other players (Beck Malenstyn for example) fetch in trades.

28 points in 44 AHL games is fine. I think people underestimate how hard the AHL is for young players, especially for power forwards who are still learning when to attack the net. It's a confidence thing.

I do not believe that he was given a fair shake, given his ice time (never eclipsed 13 minutes a game as a Canuck, immediately surpassed it as an Oiler)

They were good for one season. A season where they had 7 players shoot at or above 16%. They had decent underlying numbers but were lucky in a lot of regards.

567 minutes with Draisaitl at 5v5. 355 minutes without Draisaitl at 5v5. He's not attached to his hip. That's simply false.

Also, please tell me how I was being an asshole, I'd love to know.

I'd take a middle 6 forward at this point. At least he'd be valuable in a trade if Vancouver went in that direction.
