Well, it's not the boozing he's been a fan of, it's the "sticky-icky" and living in your city, I know that's a huge culture thing here as much as it annoys the crap out of me (your city has the biggest population of vapers I have ever seen...it's disgusting).
I've seen Pouliot, he's still the same, just sheltered a bit more by Green, mostly because Green is familiar with his short comings and is just making sure he's not put in a bad situation, I still don't think Pouliot is much more than a "meh" 6/7th defensemen. But with that said, Ruhwedel is much better than him and I even like Corrado (sound familiar?) much better than Pouliot on the depth chart. Trotman sucks though.
If he somehow manages to carve out a career as a #6/7th defensemen for you guys, I think Benning/Green will be happy with that. We're very curious about Pedan, I don't even remember seeing him here for you guys and I go to games often (free tickets from work). Really curious when he does get a call up, how his mobility looks on this team.
