EDMONTON – The Edmonton Oilers have acquired forward Vasily Podkolzin from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Ottawa’s fourth-round selection in the 2025 draft in an NHL trade announced Sunday night.
Podkolzin has 18 goals, 17 assists and 43 penalty minutes in 37 games over the past three seasons with Vancouver.
The left-shot forward from Moscow made his playoff debut this past season, appearing in two games in Vancouver’s second-round series against Edmonton.
The Canucks selected Podkolzin with the 10th-overall pick at the 2019 draft.
