Canucks Deal Podkolzin To Oilers In A Rare North Of The Border Shock
Vancouver has sent Vasili Podkolzin to Edmonton for a fourth-round pick, and that alone makes this one of those trades that gets a lot louder in the Canadian market than the return suggests. Cross-provincial deals between rivals do not exactly come along quietly, and this one will land with both fan bases fast. The Canucks are clearly reworking the edges, while the Oilers are taking a cheap swing on a player with something left to prove. Moves like this rarely stay small once the noise starts.
