Prospect Info: 25th Ryan Poehling

[WeThreeKings]

Based on what? A season where he was the youngest in the entire NCAA?

Based on his lack of offensive tools.

Find footage of him doing anything but tipping pucks.

 

[Whitesnake]

Well at least if you draft an out right bust you can't be mad at Lefebvre when he busted.

So it's a pick to protect Lefebvre? Good job Marc!

 

[Dannyhab]

He sucks.

He won't ever be a regular for us.

Next.

Trying to figure out what would possess someone to write this when the guy was just drafted 5 min ago?

Well nobody does that in here. So we went for double needs. Centerman and tipper! I prefer him who tips pucks than Galchenyuk who tips strippers.

 

[Tenshi]

a style compared to Jordan Staal and Berglund, totally a MB and CJ type player

 

[badi]

Said I'm happy being pick by Toronto ,,,,,
Has Bust written all over is face

 

[PavelBrendl]

I think players with questionable offensive upside suck for a first round pick.

How is his upside questionable? He's an underager in NCAA. Last season in USHS, he scored 5 pts less than Mittelstadt.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Maybe he pulls a Frederic.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

[MOD]we couldn't get on that

Good vision shown quite a bit in that video.

 

[tazsub3]

love the pick, size, still young will fill out , skates well, and as someone said he tips pucks, we surely can use that big center to tip pucks into the net...

Stop looking at production. It's about skills. You're blind if you can find anything Poehling does better offensively other than tipping pucks.

If he can't create, can't stick handle, can't pass and cant shoot. How will you produce?

Lars Eller had more raw skill than this guy.

 

[Tyson]

When you draft this late every year you get projects...most don't pan out. Keep him developing for the next 4 years

 

[NobleSix]

Chalk this one up to a bust. What a waste.

Should have traded it. Onto the 2nd round.

He's not a bust, he just has limited upside.

He did have great numbers the year previous in High School. Big frame, great skater.

 

[Tuggy]

Timmins!

......

 

[Hackett]

This guy got flustered after he almost said Toronto lol.

It's a bust as far as I'm concerned.

Take a swing at a guy. Tired of sitting here saying, oh if they make it they are a third line guy (LeBlanc, Poehling, Chiphura, McCarron)

Scherbak was the only home run swing they've taken.

 

[chaosrevolver]

How about we give him a year or two before calling him a bust? He is a well-rounded player.

 

[Team_Spirit]

woah. poor kid

 

[habsterr]

He isn't bad just likely to be a big 3rd line center with a strong defensive game.

 

[sansabri]

It's a good pick. He already has one year done in the NCAA where he played against people much older than him.

Hopefully he keeps progressing.

 

[Mandala]

Was the best center available at 25... nothing to complain about.

 

[windycity]

Calling it now: BUST! YUGE BUST!!!

just kidding, hope he works out well

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

How about we give him a year or two before calling him a bust? He is a well-rounded player.

nah 5 minute is more than enough for someone to bust
