23-Year-Old Right WingRW
Edmonton Oilers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Podkolzin has struggled at the NHL level in his last two seasons, after scoring 14 goals and adding 12 assists in 79 regular-season appearances as a 20-year-old rookie in 2021-22. The Russian forward has only four goals and five assists in 58 games in the prior two seasons, regressing to only two assists in 19 contests last year. Podkolzin had 28 points in 44 AHL games with Abbotsford, which likely factored into Edmonton's decision to bring him in via trade. Originally selected him 10th overall in 2019, his new team should be willing to wait on him as power forwards sometimes take longer to develop. He is probably not worth a fantasy spot at this time but might be worth a stash in dynasty or keeper formats. Read Past Outlooks

Traded to another Canadian club
RWEdmonton Oilers
August 19, 2024
Podkolzin was traded to Edmonton from Vancouver on Sunday in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick.
ANALYSIS
Podklozin was limited to just 19 regular-season games at the NHL level last year in which he garnered two assists, 20 shots on goal and 71 hits while averaging 10:49 of ice time. With Vancouver, the 23-year-old Russian may have struggled for regular minutes, but he should be in contention for the Opening Night roster in Edmonton -- especially if the club decides to allow Dylan Holloway to leave for St. Louis.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Podkolzin's second NHL campaign didn't go so well, as the winger was limited to seven points, 52 hits and 41 shots on goal in 39 games last year. It'll be on him to earn his way into the top six, though his physical playing style may be best suited for a third-line role in the long run. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can likely wait and see how he performs in training camp, but dynasty managers will want to be patient with the 22-year-old first-round pick who clearly still has more to offer than he's shown. Podkolzin probably shouldn't be expected to produce more than 35 points in 2023-24, but that could also come with 100-plus hits if he gets enough ice time.
Podkolzin, the No. 10 overall pick by Vancouver in 2019, arrived stateside last season and was an immediate producer for the Canucks. He tallied 14 goals and 26 points in 79 games despite playing the entire year at age 20. Projecting Podkolzin to fill a top-six role for Vancouver may be a stretch, but between his gritty style of play and ability to provide secondary scoring, he's an ideal depth player for the Canucks. Keep an eye on Podkolzin to see if he can take his game to another level in 2022-23.

ANALYSIS
Podkolzin had two assists in 19 regular-season contests with the Canucks. He hasn't played for Vancouver in the 2024 playoffs. If Podkolzin is utilized against the Oilers, it will likely be in a bottom-six capacity.
