Klimchuk's description sounds like Frolik - guy who can play a number of roles, will have a fit in the "middle six" of a lineup. In a couple of seasons, he might be a handy utility guy in the lineup - may even end up playing with Frolik to model off of him.
Poirier, once he establishes consistency, is going to be a guy who thrives on this team. Skates well, follows up on his shot... imagine him and Bennett together? Add Gaudreau to open up the ice and find these guys as they burst into good positions...
As much as this season is not up to where we would like it, it is good to remember that this is a rebuild and there are some very intriguing prospects coming up.
