He is still very much underrated by so many folks who haven’t watched this kid play.

Unreal how good his hands are and his natural instincts, but his compete level is going to make him an NHL All Star one day.

Poirier is the most impressive offensive defenseman the Flames have in a long time.

Honestly he should be competing for a top 6 spot for the big club in September.

I’ll admit and I’m sure he would admit he’s got a lot to learn especially about playing defense, but his hockey sense and competitiveness will show that he’s a special player.
