Rotoworld's Analysis:
Emile Poirier has been selected by the Calgary Flames with the 22nd overall pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
Poirier has skill, but he probably won't develop into a top-tier scorer. That being said, he plays a competitive, aggressive game and could bring the blend of penalty minutes and points that fantasy owners love. He's not slow, but his skating could use some work as he can be awkward in that regard. He had 70 points and 101 penalty minutes in 65 QMJHL games in 2012-13. He could stand to beef up and should be regarded as a bit of a long-term project.
