These sorts of things happen all the time. Because Poirier was drafted out of the Q, and because he's fast, of course Lombardi immediately comes to mind. It's a silly comparison, though. Poirier is bigger and with better puck skills than Lombardi, and then has a great combination of toughness and a bit of a mean streak. Nothing remotely comparable outside of their straight-line speed.
