If I'm Yzerman I'm hanging up the phone. He will certainly receive better offers than a b level prospect & a pending ufa.

Is it at all possible that you could be displaying a couple fan relate problems to your self? Are you maybe taking any grass is greener approach to prospects? Are you possibly ignoring the negatives of the player from the other team? Also could you possibly be evaluating Poirier only on his statistics and not taking into consideration the assignments that his coaches are giving him?
We see an interesting contrast here between prospects. Drouin has been asked to develop a 200 foot game and has told the Tampa Bay Lightning he's not interested in doing so. Calgary has made the expectation of that 200 foot game standard for all of their prospects, which may explain the lack of production for the flames prospect. Until I hear someone from the flames organization say they are not happy with the development of Poirier I am going to believe he is firmly on track to being a player the team expect him to be.
