Prospect Info: Ryan Poehling Part 2

[Andrei79]

that's exactly why i'm comparing them. good job. Poehling had 13 pts in 35 games in his draft year. Safe to say that's comparable to not being PPG in chips draft season in the dub?

He had 13 points in the NCAA.

He finished High school early so he could be in the NCAA as a 17 yo old. Most guys are in the USHL at that age.

How is that in any way comparable to Chipchuras D+2 season ? Hes producing like Pacioretty's D+1.

Look, Im not even sure of Poehlings potential either, but youre not making sense.

Obviously you never have to stop working on things. For Poehling, it will be feet agility and shot strength. He is a good powerful skater but his agility isn't up to par yet. I wouldn't say he's the most natural gifted player. So we will see if he can compensate things through hard work.

Having Poehling and Danault as the centers in our middle 6 soon will afford us the ability to have a pure offensive minded #1 center.

Different types of players. It was well known that those 2 guys were going to be projects and I don’t believe anyone is saying poehling will be a project.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Like Galchenyuk!?

Or Drouin? lol Galchneyuk's a winger bro, ya'll need to accept that.

It's still real to me damnit!

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I want the habs to be patient with him. He needs IMO another year in college and one year in the AHL.

I think another year would do him good... with a more prominent role at the WJC... but I think he'd probably just finish his career at SCS with a 4th year there rather than sign only to play a year in Laval...

Drouin is a winger. Bergevin said it himself

 

[jiboy]

Next year will be telling a lot about his future. If he replicates we are looking at 3C-4C and if he keep improving we are heading into 2C-1C territory.

Not much doubt he is going to play NHL some day, just waiting to see where he peaks at.

I think they're both wingers myself...

That sounds like the best possible road to take with him. But I wouldn't be upset if they do sign him to an ELC this summer and let him play in Laval as soon as next year.

 

[Hannibal]

How would you compare Ryan Poehling to Colin White from Ottawa, 2015 first round pick?

Both seems to be in the same mold..!?

yeah it's really how much he keeps improving. Really hope he can take another leap next year. That would be huge.

he's just too smart with the puck and such a gifted passer coupled with his size and speed that top 6 seems like a real possibility. Hopefully he can expand his offensive toolbox. He's scoring more goals of late which is good.

Great pick so far.

yes very much so as this is where it will be so telling what he can be. I didn't follow him in his draft year but I saw most of the games he played for SCSU this year and I know the play by play guys were raving about how much he's improved and clearly he was a big reason why they were one of the best teams in the NCAA all year. Yes they have impressive depth at forward and overall really as I really like the undrafted 19 year old goalie from Slovakia, but Poehling drives a lot of the offense and just does so many things well. Very impressed but the huge question is just that, how much more can he progress, clearly he's young enough and another year in the NCAA and with Team USA at the WJC's and its going to be very interesting what he does.

 

[Mental HABuse]

This boy really has some talent and has some sweet hands on this play!!

 

[calder candidate]

WoW that pretty impressive usually you see those play when a guy is standing near the goal line or on clean break away.

 

[Redux91]

nice to know there's some skill in there, 2nd line C would be a huge addition to this team as well

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

2nd line center seems par right now

 

[KFlint]

Quite a deflection!.... Good to see him display those skills seriously.

 

[Maliki2]

Every time I see that picture I want to punch him right in the face!
