What does Hoglander have to do? He's one of the best even strength players the Canucks have. 24 goals, none coming from the powerplay. Most of those goals coming from the 4th line. He's everything you could ever want. Sprong was signed to keep a fire lit under the kids so they don't ease up.
Podkolzin young? perhaps, but he is experienced pro hockey player. almost 350 pro games under his belt (NHL, KHL, AHL, VHL reg+po) First pro season : 2018-19
"they didn't have any prospects before because the previous regime" God I wish this stupid narrative that Benning did nothing would just die. He only drafted Hughes, Petey, Demko, Boeser, and signed or traded Miller, Garland and Myers ie most our core.
He also drafted Jake Virtianan and then re-signed him instead of Tyler Toffoli which was a terrible move, traded Jared McCann, traded Gustav Forsling, drafted Olli Juolevi (bust) and Vasily Podkolzin (which looks like a bust) and gave the Canucks the worst trade in history with OEL. Funny how you mention the Garland trade but don't mention the cap challenges for the next 7 years because of OEL who came with it. Benning 100% deserves to be called out for his bad moves
@@LynchOnSports funny how you don't mention Gillis boning us with all those shitty contracts like Loungo's and zero draft picks worth a damn outside Horvat. He setup whoever was to follow him for failure. Benning gave us 3 Calder candidates in a row. But no, let's just keep focusing only ever on the BAD things he did, like he did nothing good, like he wasn't supposed to keep the team competitive for the Sedins sake. I'm well aware of the bad moves Benning made. I'm sick of looking at our core and reading comments by people using a lot of mental gymnastics to pretend like he didn't build it.
The Canucks suck, no need to watch this video, now if you want a REAL hockey team, hop on the oilers bandwagon… remember the oilers eliminating the nucks?

With Heinan and Sherwood in the mix PodZ is finished in Van

Is 23 not still relatively young?
I give all players who started their development in Utica a pass. I don't blame Podz for this.

I think we gotta accept the fact that podz won’t be a top 6 foward. I think the best he will become 3rd line winger.
