That should take care of the first line center position
What happened to this guy?
He was always projected as a 3rd line center. His biggest problem was his hat trick in his debut NHL game. It was a nothing game standings wise but that drove the hype train for him. If he didn’t have that game he would be right on progress track.
We don't need to find it. We know the difference between 36 compared to 100.Let me know when you find it
What happened to this guy?
Had a rough first season in the AHL so everyone declared him a bust and then this year in his sophmore AHL season was almost a point per game. A lot of people are projecting a solid two way 3C with a mean streak.
Basically Think Lars Eller but more physical as a decent projection.
He got overhyped like many prospects do but middle six two way C was prbly always the fair projection.
Link?
What ? He is actually trending in the right direction now, he took a small step back in his 1st year but hes looking promising againToo young to call him a bust imo but he isn't trending the way the organization thought. Hopefully he can take a step and maybe even turn into that impact NHL player he was once seen as.

only 33 players had more points then him. only 2 of the 33 played less games then Poehling and it was 1 less game.

He had a very solid year last year under Bouchard. What do you mean by "impact player"? No one expects him to live up to the hattrick in the first game thing. He's a 3c, with a small chance to be a 2c. That was always the realistic expectation.
Maybe you AGAIN check before your claim something to be true.We were talking ppg, not points. Keep up.

I was off by45th OA by ppg for any player that appeared in more then 10 games,

He shoots up to # 31 when you used players that has played at least 16 games .45th OA by ppg for any player that appeared in more then 10 games,

Considering the level of play in the AHL last year, "almost" ppg isn't some great milestone.
His PPG would be barely inside the Top 100 most likely.
More than likely he turns out to be a defensively sound 3C, which is ok, all things considered.
Maybe you AGAIN check before your claim something to be true.
He was in the 39th spot in PPG unless you want to start counting guys that played 10 games or less and i believe there were only 3/4 .Gemel Smith had a2.PPG in 3 games. I guess you would like to include him too.
Roughly the same spot. 39 or 36 .That's still a far cry from 100 like you said
You can edit your post when you're wrong, you know.
You remember completely incorrectly. For the majority of his time as a draftee, college player and pro the vast majority of Canadiens fans said he was likely a 3rd line C with the potential to maybe be a 2nd.Maybe I've been reading the wrong Montreal fans but all I heard was that he is untouchable and is a guaranteed top 6 centre since he was drafted. He's a former 1st rounder going in to his draft +5 year, the expectation of 3C is looking more realistic than the evaluations of him from years passed. That's all I'm saying.
He sucks, as does Biceps Timmins.
Oh yeah, so we're gonna pretend it was the plan all along now?
If all you are looking for is a 3rd liner with your first rounder, you might as well trade the pick for a NHL player. That's a lot less hassle than drafting a guy and wasting years developing one.
Hey, my guy ranks here.......if you exclude all the guys ahead of him, lol
Be better.

Yeah after his 1st game there was a bump in that but even then many were saying that was an aberration.
So definitely your memory failing you.

it's just common sense to not use a small sample size of 1, 2, 3, etc.. games since logically the more games you play, the harder it is to keep your ppg up.
