I have mentioned this earlier about Poirier, and I will say it again.

It absolutely sucks that Poirier went through what he did. I am relieved to know that he has gone through the substance abuse program, and I hope he continues strong in that regard. If there is one silver lining out of this, it is that now at least his down year can very much be rationalized away. He had an outstanding rookie season, and his speed, skill and grit are very valuable commodities not only to the Flames, but the NHL in general. Kid is going to make it, and he will be a good piece to have offering so much versatility. I remember one year in junior he had more PK goals than PP goals, and we all know that he can put the puck in the net. Really hoping he builds off his rookie season in the AHL.

Who was Treliving referring to about the 4 D being already in the system? I would guess Stone, but when I think "in the system", I think Stockton. Interesting.

Waiting for the edit on Klimchuk. "Might be tough to someone.." to trade for him? To play with him? To marry the kid off?

Thanks for posting! Always nice to get some news!
