Pronman to me is is closing his eyes and putting his fingers in his ears yelling "La la la la la la I love Shinkaruk" whenever Poirier's name gets brought up. Also, very surprised he dropped Shinkaruk out of his top 20. I am guessing Shinkaruk is still in his top 50, right?

I'm not sure how he can have Virtanen ranked so high and not even have Poirier on the list. Looks like he just wants to get as much viewership as possible by listing players from every team.
Both kids are big power forwards who can skate, hit, fight. Only difference is Poirier already has a pro resume.
Everything that Virtanen has done, Poirier has already done and more, with the exception of Gold in the WJC, but that's really out of Poirier's hands. I still have no idea how he was left off the team and i'm glad Canada didn't even medal last year. Virtanen did as much as he could this year to ruin the Gold for Canada.
I know Virtanen was selected higher in a deeper draft, but I honestly don't know if i'd trade Poirier for Virtanen, especially when you factor in that Virtanen's weakness is hockey IQ, something that Poirier is supposedly a strength.
