Prospect Info: Derrick Pouliot | Defenseman | Portland (WHL) | 1st Round, 8th overall

[Jacob]

Care to explain?

Morrow wasn't an overager. Morrow did not play with Pouliot (regularly). Pouliot hasn't led the WHL im scoring at any point, Kichton has. Rutkowski is not better than or equal to Pouliot offensively (if that's what you're inferring with the annoying "just sayin'" comment.)

Also why did you post that verbatim in two different threads? Was it just too good to be limited to just one?

Aside from Ruopp (and maybe Tangradi), I think Pouliot has had more fights than any of our other top prospects this season.

Pouliot isn't an intimidating defenseman, but there's no denying his strength, especially lower body.

I'll stick with my Brian Campbell comparison.

IIRC there hasn't been a fight I've seen that DePo didn't look strong on his skates and was able to handle the task.

I won't even bother arguing with you. Given your immature reply, it'll just be a huge waste of my time.

Campbell might not be far off but DP is built more stalky. He is really stumpy looking when u see him play live.

It's nice to see him scrap tho. He can hang in a lot of tilts based on his low centre of gravity. Kinda like Crosby.

It'd be a waste of time because you're irrefutably wrong.

Seriously man, don't you have better thing to do with your time?

People usually respect when you can own up to an obvious mistake. Everyone makes them, and they're not damning. It's when the smokescreens and deflections start up that people want to pin you down.

Just throwing that out there.

I always man up to my mistakes but when somebody calls my comment "annoying", I won't tolerate it nor waste my time with them either.

Why hasent Pouliot been playing lately?

Pretty sure he just returned from a high ankle sprain.

Why hasent Pouliot been playing lately?

He has given up hockey to become a professional bowler.


And yet, he had an assist last night and was named 3rd star. Pretty impressive for a guy who's not even playing hockey any more.

Bumping to discuss Team Canada's best defensemen.

Edit - I actually thought this was on the main board's prospect forum.

5 days later.... nope.

Sorry to bump this I just had to put my snide remark in. Mods feel free to slap my wrist.
