Not trying to be a negative nancy but hopefully sharing some of what Mark Edwards said about Poirier:
- poor skater, caught flat footed often
- compete and hockey sense are red flags, was caught quitting on plays
-either not interested in defending or capable of it
Some questions around his coaching supports/systems as maybe if he has somebody to help develop that defensive side of his game he could be less of an issue defensively.
The hands and skill are overwhelmingly attractive though.
