Podkolzin was traded to Edmonton from Vancouver on Sunday in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick.
Podklozin was limited to just 19 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.
