Agency
Premium
A skilled winger who plays with an edge. Podkolzin combines his fine hockey sense, puck handling and shooting with an aggressive, in-your-face, type of game. He competes hard, is very difficult to play against and has the tools to be a high scoring player. (EP 2019)

He can bulldoze through a defenseman on his way to the net

— Hockeyprospect.com 2019

A force to be reckoned with each time he is on the ice, his explosive skating and speed help him carry the puck with ease

— Future Considerations 2019

He takes powerful strides to get up ice and needs only a few steps to reach his top speed

— McKeen's Hockey 2019

Very strong on the puck.. plays the hard way.. fierce but disciplined.. sound puck management.. possesses an effective move to his forehand

— Draftin Europe 2018

He’s a complete winger with all the qualities that you want in a player

— Craig Button - TSN 2018
