Now that Danault is gone he has a great opportunity to show he belongs in the NHL. Here's hoping he does.

He now has a 2 year deal, time to see what he can do in the NHL.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Happy to hear. Still believe there’s a lot to his game and he’ll be a solid NHLer.

 

[Milhouse40]

It's pretty much in those 2 years or never for Poehling......

 

[BLONG7]

Let's hope he cracks the lineup!! I think this can be a very good 3-4th line guy....size and speed, and can score a few.

 

[sampollock]

I sure hope he works out.... a prospect finally turns out

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

I think he spends the year in the A has our #1 forward ( used in every situation ) and year 2 becomes a solid #3 for us

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I think he's going to have a great camp and make the team.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Looking forward to seeing him with the big club this year. He looked great in Laval last year before getting hurt.

 

[Alexandre Magny]

Good deal.

 

[GordonGraham]

Whats his waiver situation for year 2 ?

 

[Wats]

Hopefully he can light up AHL and take over 3rd/4th line C midway into season. Feel like Jake Evans deserves a shot at 3rd C and Kotkaniemi as 2nd C early on.

Year 2: One-Way Deal @ $750K

Those 2 years could be real bargains for us. And even if he doesn't pan out, they don't count against the cap if he gets sent down.

I guess he saw Lindgren become a millionaire even though Charlie didn't make it, and he said sign me up!

Let him over marinate, playing 20 minutes a night in the AHL, before he gets called up.

 

[WinterLion]

This is a great deal for both sides. Lots of incentive for both sides to get Ryan into the show this year and keep him there!

 

[Agalloch]

My prediction is a season like Evans last year.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

None of those guys deserve anything. We will see at training camp.

 

[Archijerej]

The cap hit is less than I've expected, which might come in handy if we still intend to make some moves.

I like Poehling. I think he's going to be a good player.

Would be amazing if he can pull a Pacioretty.

 

[Redux91]

TWO years, loving that lol

That 2nd year will be a complete steal bargain robbery lol

happy he's here still, could be a year to break out or shine

 

[BaseballCoach]

I think he spends the year in the A has our #1 forward ( used in every situation ) and year 2 becomes a solid #3 for us

How many first-round draft picks with NHL speed and defensive awareness stay in the AHL after they have put up 0.9 ppg?
