RW Emile Poirier (2013, 22nd, CGY)

Hopefully he can return into shape, and learn from the Jets squad (since they play in same town).
But I had same hope for Glennie, and that did not work….

This aged well.

Theodore has his issues but he’s still a damn good young defender.

I stand by what I said, I think Theodore is a horrendous d-man. Convert him to wing and he'd be a good player.

Doubling down on a terrible hot take.

Gotta respect it.

Nah man, watching Theodore play defence is like watching a water buffalo do algebra with an abacus. Never have I seen a defence man as clueless and horrible as he is in the d-zone.

Would love to see this guy succeed. It’s unfortunate personal problems interfered with his career because he was very promising.

The guy looked like an NHLer in his rookie season. Good for him, I hope he succeeds.

The bust is strong.

Lmao what. Slow the troll job or whatever this is. Theodore is a top-4 dman on a top team already; Poirier is...well, no hate to the guy, but literally nothing in the grand scheme of hockey things at this point.

Apparently it’s only a PTO

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Poirier was actually a great pick, don't know why that was odd. He has excellent tools, his issues have been because of off ice problems. He should have been playing last year if it weren't for his challenges.

You sure about that?

You sure about that?

Why come back to dunk on a guy over a prospect battling alcoholism?

 

[InfinityIggy]

His goose appears to be cooked. I had a glimmer of hope for him he could get back to where he was in his rookie Pro year, but looks like he had a pretty bad year in Winnipeg.

Try him out. See what he does. See if it looks like he overcame or can manage his alcohol intake. Offer him whatever contract if it works out. Two-way deal. --- edit : He has ... average AHL stats so... ??
