Prospect Info: Ryan Poehling (Part 5)

[Scintillating10]

Can't write this stuff. Combined with his WJC performance. Poehling no doubt a major piece for us next year.

 

[HOPE]

I feel bad for Poehling that he has to give his jersey, honestely the guy who won it is obviously a kid so he doesn’t get it. If it was me i would of told him to give me an other one and keep that one! At the same time he did it with his stick.

 

[CHarlie]

Bergevin strutted to the podium to pick this kid.......effin right he did....and he could of traded that pick away.....good job again MB

 

[Goldenhands]

WJC MVP, 4 goals at 20 yrs old in his first NHL game, but yeah, wont amount to anything more than Philippe Danault...

 

[nilan30]

Ok kid you are in the lineup tonight. How high so you want to set the bar?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Couldn't ask for a better start, so calm and cool with the puck. Great hands. Goes to the net.

Yeah, he's here to stay.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Any other player I'd be worried but he seems mature enough not to let a stud game get to his head.

He's over confident in the positive way. Doesn't do fancy moves for nothing. Remain his calmness. His placement is too well executed.

 

[Goldenhands]

Poehling might just be better than Kotkaniemi

KK is still 18 lol, he will be absolutely great once he fills out...

Will lead the in NHL in points and goals per game this season, nearly doubling the leading scorer, we clearly have a generational player here. And don't start me with the small sample size argument, imagine if he wasn't used as a 4th liner, a lot of room to improve for next season.

 

[BaseballCoach]

I see Poehling topping out as Jay Beagle

Prospect Info: - Nick Suzuki Part III

LOLOL!!!!

Jay Beagle was undrafted and started his pro career in the ECHL. He scored 13 points in 26 games in that league.

Then he played 255 AHL games with a 0.43 ppg.

In the NHL he has had a Tom Pyatt-like career, scoring-wise.

Ryan Poehling was a first round pick, was the MVP of the WJC, started his pro career in the NHL and has already scored three goals and a shootout goal, displaying speed, hands, hockey sense and a great shot. Of course he won't score 246 goals per season, but for someone to say he would "top out" as Jay Beagle is hilarious!!!

Let's put it another way. Ryan Poehling has 3 NHL goals (not counting the shootout goal) at age 20.

Jay Beagle didn't get his fourth NHL goal until he was 26 years old.

Of all the players who ever played in the NHL, how did this poster come up with Jay Beagle?????

I'm already seeing a lot of fans jumping on his bandwagon and calling him a future 1C or promising that he will be better than Denault by a lot.

Take a deep breath fanbase. He's gonna be a stud but he's gonna take time to reach his potential. Probably won't be more than a good 2c. Don't imagine him as anything else or you'll be very disappointed when he doesn't score 40 next season but ends up having a solid rookie season instead (35 pts would be reasonable for a high mark)

The drinking age in America is 21 and he's legal in Quebec. I hope he enjoys the girls tonight.

I don't think anyone really expect him to score 40 next season, however to label him as "probably no more than a 2C" is putting yourself on the other side of the spectrum, towards useless negativity.

'good 2c'

Ive commented quite a bit on Poehling and watched most his games. In this post I've called him a future good 2c, I see his potential as between high end 3c and low end 1c. That hasn't changed over the 30 or so games I watched him this year.

That's not pessimistic, that's realistic. He's going to be good for us but doesn't have the tools to be a superstar.

 

[ZUKI]

Here we go again

here "he" goes again

 

[Uncle Gary]

 

[ZUKI]

He already has the size. Hes foing to the net. Rhis guy is ready for the nhl. He looks like a guy whos is 30 years old.

So i hopes we will trade him with Weber , Price and Petry ...

There is a line between being a superstar and being an excellent 1C you know.

 

[ZUKI]

Bust.

buts you mean ?

 

[BeastMode420]

Bergevin job has been saved. He will hypnotize Molson with Poehling performance saying trust the process. Bummer

 

[Habssince89]

Sooooo should Poehling have played sooner?

 

[Just Linda]

I don't feel he has the tools to be one of the 20 best centres in the league. Top 50 isn't unrealistic.
