Beyond the top few, all of the remaining players are flawed. They all need to improve on their deficiencies if they have any hopes of playing in the NHL.
Playing defense is a learned skill. And Poirier will be coached HARD in order to improve on his defense. If he can improve that, he has elite offensive potential.
And you can't teach elite.
