Confirmed with Link: [EDM/VAN] Oilers acquire Vasily Podkolzin for OTT 4th '25

[Shathar]

By 3 months?

Edit: does anyone know how well he skates?

skating/speed is his forte

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Overall, it's now Bourgault & Chiasson for Jarventie & Podkolzin. Not bad.

2 guys who probably aren't nhl players for 2 guys with NHL games. Not bad

 

[Old Boys Club]

Oh, haha. Honestly in my mock lineup Josh Brown is already in Bako.

As he should be, he's an 8D at best

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Is it possible that this move has nothing to do with Holloway? Is Podz waiver exempt and Bako material?

It's between 0% and 0.5% it has nothing to do with Holloway. The two of them are gunning for the same spot.

Janmark-Henrique-Brown
Pod-Ryan-Perry

He should do well working with Perry, and I can see him stealing Janmark's spot with Rico and Brown pretty quickly. Though the lack of size in the bottom 6 (no one over 210) is a bit concerning.


It wouldn't be easy as it'd likely involve Janmark shifting to centre, but I'd love it this opened the door to bringing back Kostin.

Podkolzin-Henrique-Brown
Kostin-Janmark-Perry.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Overall, it's now Bourgault & Chiasson for Jarventie & Podkolzin. Not bad.

Don't forget cap the flexibility and the 3rd if Holloway isn't matched.

As he should be, he's an 8D at best

I'd keep him up if he punches the right faces.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Holland, Chia, Lowe, Tambellini, MacT, Bobby Nicks, Tyler Wright?

 

[Broberg Speed]

Holland, Chia, Lowe, Tambellini, MacT, Bobby Nicks?

for starters

Weird trade for Vancouver now that I look at it from their side.
You have a dirt cheap young forward signed 2 years with a bit of upside and trade him for a weak return while sort of helping out your rival out of a bind by giving them an option to let Holloway walk with a bit of a buffer and clear some cap space as a result. Maybe they didn't think he'd make the roster and were worried about losing him to waivers but still a weird trade.

Yeah, I don’t really understand the trade from Vancouver’s POV unless they were absolutely certain he was getting waived (in the coach’s doghouse) and wanted a pick over nothing

Don't forget what? I'm referring to the Ottawa & Vancouver trades only

 

[FunkyChicken]

JJ made the trade. Stan is lying down on the office futon before he prepares for his press conference.

Careful putting "Stan Bowman" and "lying down on the office futon" in the same sentence.

Doesn't look fast.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

Vancouver fans are not happy.

And this shows that Stan isn't sleeping and other GMs are willing to deal with Stan

Why?

Every scouting report I have read on him begs to differ.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Not bad for his first trade

 

[Heavy Dee]

Why?

Was a dumb reference

 

[FunkyChicken]

Every scouting report I have read on him begs to differ.

Current scouting or draft year?

The idea that GMs hate Bowman is silly. I'm assuming people say this because of the scandal. I'd guess every GM is on Bowman's side. They know all the details. They know his superiors told him not to pursue the matter. They know that Beach and Kennedy are on his side. They know the work he's done and how much he's apologized and owned up to it. It's the people that know the least about the situation that hate him the most.

as you wish

 

[Reasonable Oil Fan]

Tough replacement for Holloway

 

[ottawah]

That, or they follow this lead and trade a 3rd for Broberg's replacement at half his price.

Kulak at 2.75 already pretty much fits the bill. A bit more than half, but why trade the third, save it for deadline deals.

 

[Broberg Speed]

The Canucks 2024-2025 Line Combinations and Roster Discussion thread makes for an interesting read but don't post.

 

[oilers4life5]

They are not waiving Brown.

They should. He sucks.

 

[ottawah]

Downgrade for sure, but I guess we keep Broberg?

Let’s hope it’s Cody ceci traded and not Kulak

They still have an issue at RHD if they make that move. Kulak makes more sense to trade to open a spot for Broberg. Ceci would save 500M more, but then Broberg is playing his off hand, that is a big issue fromw hat we saw last year.

 

[Shathar]

Current scouting or draft year?

I don't have current scouting reports bud. I read what is on the internet like everyone else. The consensus was that he was a powerful, fast skater, that being the reason why he was selected where he was.
