Poitras is overperforming where I thought he was as a prospect for sure, but the value for a 19 year old of a productive season in the NHL playing in a winning environment with a team like that possibly increases his ceiling/the likelihood that he is a much better player in the long run. He's seeing pretty limited minutes with weaker linemates and putting up some points too.
The Vegas proposal is more what I'm expecting at this point with how Lindholm is playing. Hope to be pleasantly surprised. I like Edstrom to be a middle six centre in the long run similar to Backlund if it all pans out well.
