You just never know how long a development curve on a player could be. If Poirier was in better shape at the start of the season, he probably would have had a 9 game try out at the beginning of the year.
Poirier might be NHL ready this season. Might not.
Still, it would be a good problem to have. Competition for a job is always better than being the only kid on the block.
