Man the escape Podz

[Knut]

To Minnesota

Vasili Podkolzin
Pick #49
2023 2nd round draft pick

To Columbus.

Kevin Labanc
Can York
Jonatan Berggren
2023 3rd round draft pick.

—-> I think Berggren is the wild card in this deal. He has the raw talent and was a top 10 SHL scorer. I like Podkolzin but I wonder about his offensive upside. Getting Labanc gives me a controllable Roster player for now.

Thanks you Grant for the deal that took about 40 PMs to hammer out.

I think I paid up a bit here but I like Pod. He had a great playoff when given more opportunity and is known for an insane work ethic.
I agree that Berg is the wild card hear and could be a very productive player on his own.
Several iterations of this including involving Thomas Harley who ultimately got pulled out of the deal
