rathbone wasn’t in abby this whole time he was sitting? wft
why?
Same reason we kept a prospect on the emergency backup for an entire season

Yeah, I don't think a draft-age Russian – and I don't mean hockey draft here – is going to be in such a rush to return home given the geopolitical context right now.He probably hasn't really thought about the KHL much. But now that he's been send to the AHL? We already lost a Russian to the KHL with Tryamkin. Lets see if we can lose 2 of them. Well done management.
There is no draft in Russia. There is a reservist callup.Yeah, I don't think a draft-age Russian – and I don't mean hockey draft here – is going to be in such a rush to return home given the geopolitical context right now.
He's playing with Miller and Horvat...
Bruce is trying to make the playoffs and they have both sucked. Two options. Rot in the press box or play top minutes in the A. If Podkolzin is so soft that he bolts over this then he can beat it.He probably hasn't really thought about the KHL much. But now that he's been send to the AHL?

Id rather have him struggle though it in the NHL than struggle through it in the AHL. But thats just me.
Yeah we should have put the KHL in Podkolzins mind sooner. That should really help us.
I suspect that Podkolzin's demotion to Abbotsford is basically a conditioning assignment. At least it better be. Because my reading of the Canucks list of salaries on 'Cap Friendly' shows that on his ELC, Podz makes $935,000 for playing in the NHL; but his salary plummets to $70,000 in the minors. That's a big financial hit.The only guy I’ve ever seen talk to Kuzmenko and is his translator is Podz. This demotion is going to go over well with re signing Kuz.
Is our 10th overall a bust?
We can’t bust out on a 5th, 6th and 10th overall in a decade can we?
Any chance Podz is mad and wanting to go to the KHL?
I need all 3 of these answers.
Gotta think Hoglander knows his job will be on the line if Pearson is ready within 10 games.Hoglander is waiver exempt for 10 more games.
i have to think this was discussed with podkolzin and rathbone and/or their agents and is temporary? maybe not rathbone but i think the canucks would trade podzolkin before sending him to the ahl for an extended period
If only we were in a position to let these players learn in the NHL and live with the mistakes they inevitably make.This is fine
Hoglander is next if he doesnt smarten up. His scoring or lack of isnt a problem he needs to be smarter with the puck in all three zones

Oh well!
It's our time.We are in win now mode.
Are you suggesting we are not a good team?!
i think this is common for players to get sent down if not performing / no waivers? good teams do it too?
It's our time.
Lol you caught me..
Lol you caught me..
Take Tomasino for example.. very good last year, hasnt been called up once .. do we thinj it will hurt him long term?
I think hoglander should be down instead of pod but meh
i completely relate to the fear of winning just enough to be meh and miss.. but, these two things can be mutually exclusive and run concurrently - the two things being making the best decisions you feel are correct regarding young players' progress and long term outlook and win as many games as you can in the short term.We should be thinking long term.
Instead we are just trying to win the next game and sneak in to the playoffs.
It would be best for us longterm to give Rathbone a run and see if there is a NHL D man there.
Let Hogs and Pods play through their production slumps.
Instead its more of the same reactionary short term planning, where a handful of games decides what we will do at the TDL. Ugh...
