Yeah...13th.
I have to ask what you're seeing that I'm missing. From what I saw he took a massive step back last year in the offensive game, and a minor step forward in his defensive game. When he got a couple games in the NHL he looked like a minor league player, which is how he looked the first time up as well.
I'm not sure Emile's going to make it unless he has a much, much better year this year.

I would have Poirer over Wotherspoon, Hathaway, Kulak and Pribyl for sure. Poirer brings top speed, some agitation, and hands for goal scoring, and even though he has taken a step back, his skill set is mouth watering if he finds his way again. Guys like Hathaway and Pribyl are a dime a dozen. You could trade a 4th or 5th for that any day
