I don't know that Poirier and Klimchuk have underperformed at this camp so much as they've been passed by the likes of Shinkaruk and Tkatchuk (and of course, Bennett). And to a lesser extent, Ferland. They need to either find a new gear or learn a new role.
Too bad, because a guy like Poirier who could be an adequate scorer on RW could find himself on the top line as the "complementary" player to that pairing.
