I look at bust potential at this point in the rankings, and admittedly, I use different criteria at different rounds of the ranking. Having all the skill in the world doesn't mean much if you never play an NHL game because you can't do anything else at an NHL level.
That's Poirier to me. Crazy offensive skill, but almost nothing else that will make him an NHLer. It can be taught, but he is far more likely to bust than to make the NHL. I have him in this group of players, but he's lower down for me, around 10.
