I don't understand why Klimchuk gets so little hype on here when guys like Poirier are drooled over and considered can't miss.
Poirer has a better pro skillset in my opinion. Speed to burn, Size, Grit, and a good shot

Because he doesn't have eye-popping numbers and this is the second season post-draft for him. I'm very high on him though. He scores clutch goals like nobody's business and is solid in every area of the game
Personally I think Klimchuk and Poirier have equal upsides and each could be a first line player but I also think we probably move one if not both of them given that a Bennett - Monahan - Gaudreau line is probably what we'll be running with two or three years down the road.
Klimchuk also skates quite well, has a very good shot and is a more adept playmaker while being better defensively. Klimchuk has much less risk to his game than Poirier, his floor is much higher.Poirer has a better pro skillset in my opinion. Speed to burn, Size, Grit, and a good shot
