Poirier looked like a man against boys in Junior, particularly speed wise. He also had a great AHL showing as a 19 year old which isn't very common. He's still young, maybe he'll come along. But time is running out with Mangiapagne and Shinkaruk entering the system. Klimchu looks to be taking a step ahead of him too.
From listening to AHL coach comments, it seems like his stalling may have been a maturity issue. Junior came relatively easy and so the off ice stuff wasn't there.
