Here's another former 1st round pick with high expectations.

We must place Rathbone, Podkolzin, Hoglander etc, into every roster.
I don't feel comfortable claiming Hughes and Schmidt as top pairing players, as this teams best defender is still Edler.

Only Pod will slot in come May imo. Hoglander has a shot but unlikely he makes it. Rathbone could make the team solely on a depth basis. It will take a 13/8 roster to do so. Atm with so many F’s it’s unlikely unless he has a stellar camp.

JB's supposedly about developing players properly. I can't see Green happy about putting in a guy who can't understand him.

With Pod he only need teach him ‘go fetch’ 😂

As for Edler he needs a mobile puck moving partner. Without that it’s not good. He still can be a solid PKer.

Woth Pod he only need teach him ‘go fetch’ 😂

Well there's one poster who's going to give you a reach around with all that praise.

Come May he could be just what AG needs.
JV will be forced into a top 6 role that’s gonna rile up many ppl if he doesn’t improve.

Thx Carol. Podkolzin is still a bust. Sorry fanboys

Of course, that would be a perfect scenario.

The only opinion I've formed is not top 6 this season. I'll wait until he's 20 before turning him into my new whipping boy.

Amirov named top forward of the tourney, so pod was carried by the younger player.👍

Amirov is trash. No way you were pleased w that pick.

just goes to show nobody has a clue until a prospect actually plays a NHL game.
- bloatedmosquito

Yeah man, I've got no idea why NHL execs say things like "Franchise player". The player has never played a game before how can they make that assumption.

Yup, trash pick for a garbage team.

I agree with middle 6, I laugh at the poster who penciled him in the top 6 when he gets here.
- VanHockeyGuy

If he's in the NHL next season he will only have gotten there about 5 months older than Pettersson was when he started, if the 2021 season starts in October ish.

Well we'll find out next year, if he's a "Franchise Player" he should be able to claim his rightful top 6 spot right off the bat.🤣
