So he’s 3rd.

I've seen this comparison a few times (perhaps from you?) but it doesn't make any sense. Literally the only commonality between Poirier and Pelletier is that they're francophones whose last names start with P. They don't play at all the same on the ice, they don't shoot the same way, they don't have similar attitudes (reportedly)... I don't understand the comparison at all. Please elucidate your opinion for me.
Re: Mangiapane comparisons, I think they are much more valid. Smaller player who plays with a lot of jump, good along the boards, doesn't shy away from the hard areas of the ice, shoots left and has a strong shot, sees ice well, and is known for being a team contributor and a sportsman-like player. The biggest difference between them is that Mangiapane is an anglophone.
