seems that Jeremy just wants o have fun and a lot of media scouts and player evaluations are made from offensive stats line.
Maybe he blew the interviews?
On the positive side not a lot of sure things out of the #72 draft spot. So it seems there could be high reward for a bit of risk.

The interview he gave yesterday did not make him sound coachable. He sounded VERY coachable. In his first interview, which was broadcast to all the fans of his new NHL team, he admitted the defensive deficiencies in his game without making any excuses. He then went on to say he was committed to fixing the problems. However, he did say he didn't want to lose the strength of his game, which is playmaking and goal-scoring from the blue line. I personally came away from this interview a huge fan of Mr. Jeremie Poirier.
I think he dropped because of the defensive deficiencies in his game. But I am VERY HAPPY he dropped to us because I think the upside is tremendous.
