Very solid 2 way player and covers for Drouin,who helps his offensive stats, a good compliment for each other.

40 points without any PP minutes. He is our most underrated player.

Thats why I would be patient with Poehling and let him develop in the AHL for a while next year, he needs to become a dominant player in the AHL before calling him up, I dont want to see this kid on the Habs fourth line at all.The people putting Poehling ahead of him right off the bat must expect the world of that kid!!

AMEN. Wow, you summed it all up in a short statement. 100% agree with youThats why I would be patient with Poehling and let him develop in the AHL for a while next year, he needs to become a dominant player in the AHL before calling him up, I dont want to see this kid on the Habs fourth line at all.
Favorable? In terms of quantity maybe. We'd have been eaten alive this season had he not absorbed all those matchups.Most underserving of all the bashing he got since last year. He's gotten favorable ice time, but he's also shown excellent work ethic and engagement, unlike Desharnais. You cant fault a player for being his teams best option despite his limitations. And, we got him basically for free.
He's playing some tough minutes against the other teams best lines. He's been playing like a Selke candidate this season.Most underserving of all the bashing he got since last year.

Agreed. The trophy is based on reputation anyways. He's on pace for a 60 point season(with no PP time) while being elite defensively. That's borderline 1st line territory right there.He's been playing like a Selke candidate ever since he got that hat trick but for most of the season his offense hasn't been good enough to be in the contention. Dude's been on fire lately though.
The points are great but his assignments against other team’s top lines, face off abilities and PK Skills make this player like I said a few weeks ago- the Habs MVP this year. Most complete and responsible forward.

No doubt. Which also begs the question, when that time comes, who's spot does he "take" if we're to give him some top 6-9 C reps so he can develop accordingly?Thats why I would be patient with Poehling and let him develop in the AHL for a while next year, he needs to become a dominant player in the AHL before calling him up, I dont want to see this kid on the Habs fourth line at all.
I'd be fine shifting Domi to wing, and roleNo doubt. Which also begs the question, when that time comes, who's spot does he "take" if we're to give him some top 6-9 C reps so he can develop accordingly?
I still like the Judo throw on Ekblad...lol.Its incredible what Danault is doing right now despite his offensive skills limitation, he is a pretty valuable player doing an excellent job all over the ice, ideally he is a very strong third line center on a good team...
Of course this all depends greatly on Kotkaniemi's progression. Personally I'd only shift Domi when Poehling shows he could be as good, which is still far from a sure thing. That would mean Danault and Poehling would split center duties on the third line at the beginning.I'd be fine shifting Domi to wing, and role
Kotka
Danault
Poehling
All are 6'2 and solid in their own end.
