## Resource

Vasily Podkolzin’s Oilers journey—from overlooked draft pick to playoff hero—proves patience pays off. Acquired for a fourth-round pick in 2024, he quietly evolved into a scoring machine and defensive anchor, especially alongside Draisaitl. His breakout 2025-26 season shattered career highs, and his playoff impact was undeniable. Even without power play minutes, his grit, intelligence, and chemistry with top-line stars make him a cornerstone of Edmonton’s future.
