Yup, Poirier's team has already played two regular season games and has another on the 20th. If they already knew he wasn't going to make the final cut he's best served helping his team out, and making a stronger case for his WJHC inclusion. I'm really excited to see how this year's picks do this upcoming season, especially Poirier, Klimchuck and Kanzig.
