I did not write about Podkolzin in my February preview because as I have said more than a few times already - the Ducks have not drafted a Russian since Igor Bobkov. For reference, that was back in 2009 - when Swine Flu was a thing.
I guess you could say I have created my own conditioned response to perhaps growing too attached to the idea of the Ducks selecting Denisenko last year, and so this year I have not bothered to learn a single thing about this kid, including his name.
