Damn he’s got a tiny head.

Poulin and Legare will be top 9 regulars in 2022-23. Likely replaces Rust and Zucker because of contracts.

A little bit of counting your chickens before they hatch? They might not make it out of the AHL. It's way too earlier for talking about replacing Rust or any NHL player.

I hope he turns into our version of Olofsson. Would be a great addition during the transition.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Puustinen reminds me of Tyler Kennedy. Because he’s right handed, wears 48, and is shorter but thicker.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Now I have a reason to watch

Not sure I'd expect him to start too many games, judging from the Finland WC thread and rosters.

Yeah I'm sure I'll check the game day roster before committing to watching a game.

i hope he turns into our version of Kirill Kaprizov because that would be sick and I am hopelessly in self-immolatable lust with Kaprizov

VDO wins game 1 against Chicoutimi 5-2.

Legare had 1+1 including the GWG. Poulin had 1G.

Legare is a beaut eh?

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I think he’s Frk/Leivo, but still, nice looking 3rd round pick. And def a chance to be more.

I created him in nhl21....he turned out to be Kucherov

 

[Gumbercules]

Legare is a very similar player to Kyle Okposo (back when he was good).

 

[Jacob]

Another “WTF” start time but VD is up 3-1 and Poulin has 1+1 halfway through.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Jordan Spence also keeping up his great play, I really wonder if Hextall will want to pull the trigger for him!! Looking like a great 4th round pick for the kings

That's interesting to hear. I figured he was a Neal type guy. Always liked Okposo when he was on the Isles.

Poulin 1 +2 now and Legare with a goal

Also
Poulin tied for 1rst in Playoff goals with 9
Legare tied for 2nd with 8

What's so good about Spence? keep hearing people gushing about him in here. Another Letang type?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I hope at least one or both of Poulin and Legare make me eat crow. I'm not really hopeful they'll be significant guys for us, especially while the window is open, but I hope like hell they prove me wrong.

His production isn't the same as Letang was back in juniors but he hasn't been far off since joining Val D'or and the style of play they run. You can see he has that offensive upside in him depending on the team's system. I would just like it cause you can see the chemistry with Poulin and Legare, especially on the pp

Ah so a Letang-lite.

Poulin and Legare are having a really nice playoff run. I could see them both at the top of the playoff goal leader board this year. Poulin has a good shot to be the point leader for the playoffs. They are already up 2-0 in round 3 and I could see them winning it all.

I hope they keep it up because this is great experience for next season coming into camp. If both stay near the top of the playoff leaderboard and win the Cup that should be a nice confidence boost. Always good to see your prospects step it up against the top competition when it matters most. I noticed almost all the leaders are 2001 and 2000 birthdays. We definitely have 2 of the nicest sized prospects near the top of playoffs leaders. Nice having a 208 and 213 pound forwards developing well as well as Zohorna 6'6" 220+ pounds. Burke wants to add size and those 3 can be nice additions in the next year or two if they keep developing.

Actually thinking about some of our players in the system we have several forwards with size with NHL potential. Angello, O'Connor, and Zohorna all are around a point a game in AHL and have already played some NHL games all have good size and Poulin and Legare are also heavy players but not as tall as those 3. I actually think those 5 are our closest forwards to the NHL in the system so size is coming.

Angello high looks to be just 4th line depth player. O'Connor putting up 19 points in 20 games in his rookie AHL season definitely has middle 6 upside. Zohorna also has middle six upside. All 3 could fight for NHL time next season and give us some nice injury call ups. Hopefully Poulin and Legare can also be around a point a game for their rookie AHL season's.
