The Russian attackerVancouver” Vasily Podkolzin said he was happy he wasn’t traded to another team at the deadline.
This season, the 22-year-old forward played three games in the National Hockey League. Vancouver fired the Russian from the Abbotsford Canucks farm club.
— Happy to be back on the team. I’m happy to be able to play in the first team again. I feel confident and much better than before. I just keep working hard.
You always want to play against the strongest opponents. So now I’m just going to have fun.
Rumors of a possible trade? It’s unpleasant. But it’s part of our job. You never know what will happen, you always have to prepare for different developments. But I’m happy that I stayed in the team,” Podkolzin was quoted as saying by the club’s press service.
The forward’s contract with the Canucks runs until the end of this season; this summer, he could earn restricted free agent status.
