That whole 2017 draft was pretty meh after top few... where the heck is Comtois these days?what a terrible draft for the Habs that year, but glad Poehling has been able to stick in the NHL.

I feel like the Habs kinda botched Poehling's development a bit there, especially his first pro year when he got injured in the preseason and then when he came back the management kept forcing him into the lineup. It took them half a season to figure he was nowhere near ready for the NHL. Good on him to find a steady job in the league, I liked him as a prospect and I liked him in his final year with the Habs.what a terrible draft for the Habs that year, but glad Poehling has been able to stick in the NHL.
Good for him. Nobody can take away his 3 goals in his first NHL game!
For 1.9 that's a great.Was decent with the Pens but kept getting injured. He's only just 25 so there might be a 15 goal 30 point player in there.
I guess some teams need to learn to manage their cap.He’s played well, and because of where they’re at within their cap structure, the $1.9 isn’t going to kill them, if he falls off the map. During their current slide, he’s actually been one of their better players in a couple of games.
Teams who aren’t in cap hell, can get away with these deals. Unfortunately, too many teams can’t, and that’s something the NHLPA has to address in the next CBA.
There’s too many good hockey players getting the short end of the stick anymore. Literally nobody is complaining about this deal 5 years ago. Today, if he signed this deal in Edmonton or TO, fans would be going nuts.
It's just a bit of a shame that the highlight of his NHL career is likely to be his first game. The guy has the tools to be a much bigger contributor.Good for him. Nobody can take away his 3 goals in his first NHL game!
