Figured I might as well bump it since it's now the halfway point in the year. After being a healthy scratch for a couple of games, Pouliot got back into the lineup for the last 2 games. He continued his horrid play that he was doing before the scratches, and only played in 11:49 last game against Winnipeg. Canucks fans have quickly turned on him, now talking about how much he sucks while playing in actual minutes, rather than heavily sheltered minutes. He has 1 point in his last 16 games and is -18 over that stretch.
So basically, everyone who said Pouliot sucked was right
Said it before but I just don't know what our scouts ever saw in him. He had a nice first pass but he was/is undersized, slow, and soff.
Undersized and slow is a bad combination at the NHL level unless your skills are absolutely insane, and Pouliot's weren't at that level.
