Ballisticsports Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Was hoping for more while we waited for him to finish army duty, but not all top drafts (or even 1st overalls) are superstars It is a very good signing and I think Pods took less to be guaranteed not to be sent down and hoping he plays with confidence and becomes even a better player now without the worry of being demoted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Love it. Podz brings it, and as a potential power forward, he’s just starting to come into his own. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Good deal, though not unexpected, given that Podz had still proven very little in the NHL outside of a solid rookie season. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 1 hour ago, VegasCanuck said: Really good value. One way deal so he's definitely on Canucks main squad moving forward. He's looking good since they brought him back from Abbotsford, much more aggressive and confident. It would have to be a one way deal as he's not waiver eligible anymore... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly like the Hoglander deal, yes. $100k less even. Hopefully he breaks out next season and has a huge value contract for two seasons... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure you can still sign two-way deals even if you're waiver-eligible. Many older players do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Nonsense is just trying to push his Benning fetish in yet another thread. Its a great contract and whoever picked him is really irrelevant. Its Alvinn and Rutherfords team.

I could see him clearing if he's playing very poorly. If, for instance, he starts the year with 1 point in 23 games or something, I'm not sure another team will claim him, given they'd have to have him on their NHL roster.

Rekker Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Great signing, I'm so rooting for the young man. So much try in his game and hopefully some offence kicks in for him. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 $ value makes some sense as a bet on Podz's future. If he's terrible then he can also be sent down with no cap consequence, even on a one way contract. I don't think Podz had any leverage to demand more money so I see the $1M as an investment for the 2nd year at a marginally higher salary than he was entitled to as a RFA (about $.875M if I'm not mistaken). Hopefully it shows management's confidence in him and translates to improved on-ice play. He's played well since his call up, just not much production.

I doubt Podkolzin would clear waivers next season, even if he has a poor year. He will be 23 next season. As a former 10th overall pick somebody would take a chance on him. Most likely a bottom feeder who is at the top of the waiver list... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no way a team like the Hawks or Sharks would pass on him. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
