Thank you Elon!
I agree he's alone in a tough situation adapting to a new team while all the others have chemistry already.
I think he's been fine in most aspects of the game but would have expected more, especially when he's ranked in most top 15s at the moment. Not saying he was bad or anything, just that from today's game you couldn't say he was a top 15 pick.
I can agree with that.. Poehling has to step up and take a top role, it won't be given to him with the chemistry these guys have.
The one player I have really talked up for years is Evan Barratt. This tournament hopefully helps shine more light on him as if Poehling has been considered a top 15 pick, I can flip these two without a second thought and call Barratt a top 15 pick. He reminds me so much of Colin White with how he plays the game. Just a competent, complete, skilled center that isn't going to wow you but his name will constantly be mentioned as he is always involved in plays both sides of the puck.
Poehling has time to step up and showcase his ability, and I hope he does...but Barratt since the exhibition has been dynamite and hopefully gets a nice boost from this.
And man I really like Wahlstrom - kid is going to be a bigtime player.
