Confirmed Trade: [EDM/VAN] Vasily Podkolzin for OTT '25 4th

[clydesdale line]

Yea I think this signals Holloway is a Blue.

 

[StickShift]

Podkolzin isn’t this management’s baby. No sunk cost fallacy. They probably looked at their depth chart and figured they’d lose him for nothing on waivers before the season starts.

Also wonder if they are down on him enough that they see Edmonton taking him as an opportunity to downgrade a divisional rival.

 

[nowhereman]

Boldy, Caufield or Harley would have looked pretty good right about now. But I guess a 4th will have to do...

 

[God]

There is that team mouthpieces immediately declared that Kane's 5.13 AAV would be going on LTIR after the offersheets were announced.

Plus for years we've heard about how the Oilers management loves everything about Broberg's game. Trading an 8th overall pick for a 2nd rounder is monstrously bad no matter what the cap issue is

What about a 10th overall pick for a 4th rounder?

 

[McHelpus]

2 pages without mentioning Silovs was a 3rd stringer, not anymore.

Unless you're Vancouver, because then a 4th for a former 10th is great

 

[Overkamp]

Is there a reason to think they're going to match the Broberg offer?

Not necessarily. But I’ve been under the impression the Oilers would keep one but not both. My guess is there have been a lot of internal discussions about which one has the higher ceiling. Yes Broberg’s salary is high but they’re not tied up with it for 5 or 6 years. They can see how he plays for the next two years.

 

[Mr Kot]

Unbelievable steal by edmonton, what is vancouver doing?

unless he goes back to his potential, its just a depth move

 

[Dazed and Confused]

I read it as EDM is letting Holloway go and bringing in Podz to replace him.

Likely a safe bet. 1.2mil less than Holloway, and costs a 4th vs. the 3rd they'll be getting back.

Not the worst replacement.

 

[Mrfenn92]

who's vlad?

Some Russian

 

[Mr Positive]

I guess so, except in Broberg's case his value has only went up and up so far and he's at the perfect age for a defenseman to start to show what they are.

At 23 Podkolzin is behind schedule, as forwards show their value earlier

 

[MichaelFarrell]

If he was going to be put on waivers anyways, who cares? He wasn’t making Vancouver’s roster opening night. I’m not sure he makes Edmonton’s roster.

We just traded a 4th for a 10th overall pick.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Pod could possibly be lost to waivers.

How so?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Kent Hughes when he learns he missed out on a 2019 1st round pick.

My guess is they were never interested. Podkolzin is a SKA product, so they would have all kinds of info going back to his teenage years with Bobrov and his dad's ties to that team. If they really wanted him, they had the draft pick capital with all their 2025 picks to get him.

who's vlad?

Pretty sure he meant Podkolzin.

 

[TheBeard]

He's only making a million bucks. I don't think this changes what Edm does with Dylan. I think it just guarantee Kane starts the season on LTIR

 

[GKJ]

A bit surprising by Vancouver here

No it’s not, he didn’t have a future there. Oilers making a low-risk play.

 

[Bgav]

Wishing podz the best, he seems like a great teammate.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

How so?

He requires waivers this year and with his pedigree and at least being a strong defensive checking winger, it's highly likely some team will take a chance on him, if nothing else than to just hit the cap floor like the Flames.

Except Broberg's value hasn't fallen

 

[GhostfaceWu]

If they match that Broberg contract and then he sucks as he has before it would be peak entertainment

Almost as peak as thinking adding OEL to leafs defense somehow makes them good. Literally by the grace of god got out of the klingberg contract last year only to go after an exact replicate but with term.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Except Broberg's value hasn't fallen

I mean, it has. Broberg ain’t worth close to what we used to pick him.

 

[Goal Caufield50]

I agree. Match Broberg-Holloway is a pass-Kane on litr- you are within a million - somebody gets waived at the million level

Option to match Holloway and trade? I think they could get a 2nd plus a prospect. Can you accept and trade?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Vasily Podkolzin traded to Edmonton.

Vancouver must have favored Aman and Di Giuseppe.

 

[rypper]

Unbelievable steal by edmonton, what is vancouver doing?

Don't watch a lot of Pod/canucks huh
