On June 21, 2019, the Vancouver Canucks used their 10th overall pick to select Vasily Podkolzin of SKA St. Petersburg.

How did the former top-10 draft pick end up competing for the Stanley Cup only six years after being drafted?

In the history of the NHL, there have always been players who push the envelope with their physical style of play. Players have understood that there’s a line in the sand in terms of over-the-top play, but it’s hardly a firm red line – more like a dotted line that moves from situation to situation. And in every Stanley Cup playoff tournament, those envelope-pushing players take it to a new level and don’t stop testing the line until the league punishes them sufficiently.

The Buffalo Sabres could be approaching a crossroads when it comes to the future of star defenseman Bowen Byram. We've argued on THN.com that the Sabres should hang onto Byram, but for argument's sake, let's say Buffalo and Byram part ways.
