I caught some of the Saint John Sea Dogs game on the weekend and have to say I was thoroughly impressed (for the most part) with Jeremie Poirier. Take that for what it's worth, but he does not seem like a complete liability in his own end (there were a number of nice stick plays and reads I noticed) and is quite easily one of the better offensive play driving players off the blue line that I have seen in recent memory.
If this season continues to move this way, the risk in drafting him seems to be paying off. The kid has legitimate NHL potential.
