Prospect Info: Ryan Poehling (Part 5)

[Kriss E]

It's one game yall...

 

[HOPE]

It's one game yall...

that game still shows, his skillset works perfectly in the NHL, he follows easily, Great speed, hands, playmaking abilty, IQ + responds to pressure!

everyone knows he won't put 40 next year! ( hopefully everyone knows lol) but we know we have a great young player who'll only get better! you clearly see in this small sample size that he's likely be way more than a 3C.

No it doesnt. One game never shows anything definitive.

 

[ECWHSWI]

No it doesnt. One game never shows anything definitive.

sure does! the same way Jan Bulis and Lars Eller 4G games showed they were 1st liners!

 

[HOPE]

No it doesnt. One game never shows anything definitive.

Never said definitive, i personally feel like you can see what a guy CAN possibly become and see what a player cannot be. We have definitely see that is an NHLer, has more skills and overall game than you're average 3C, so going from there we have a young 3C with skills that reads the game very good that can only get better. My 2 cents.

Well you have to agree there is a huge difference between those two having a career night well into their career, and he has it in his first game .

 

[tooji]

Imagine going to sleep before your first nhl game and dreaming of a game like that.
Magic. Pure Magic.

 

[Paddyjack]

Where's the D prospect though ?

Romanov, Brooks could be interesting. We will see.

 

[NobleSix]

Romanov, Brooks could be interesting. We will see.

Cale Fleury as well.

 

[Goldenhands]

Im starting to think the system in St-Cloud wasnt much suited for Poehling who looks at his best when the pace is high like we could see with team USA at the WJC... St-Cloud was a structured defensive minded team but wasnt playing with much pace from the games Ive seen, also playing with his brothers who arent very skilled probably didnt help either... This kid will be great and I was wrong about him having to spend some time in the AHL next year, with a strong summer, he shouldnt have much trouble to crack our line-up and work his way playing an important role... A young and less physical Ryan Kesler is probably my best comparison at this point...

 

[ECWHSWI]

Well you have to agree there is a huge difference between those two having a career night well into their career, and he has it in his first game .

the difference is, he's a prospect so people are dreaming...


anyone here wanna bet he'll have another 4goals game in his career ?

[yianik]

If he and KK both become 20 goals scoring c men I will be very happy. I'be been yelling about how crap Habs C are at goal scoring for 10 years.

If Poehling and Kotkaniemi can both hit 20, then add Domi and Danault ? Well C is then a big strength.

 

[NotProkofievian]

f*** the AHL, Ryan starts in Montreal next year.

What a debut. If Ryan is the real deal that opens up so many opportunities for this club.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Could we develop him as a winger

*ducks*

but seriously

My 2 cents.

Not after one game man, no. He had an awesome first game, that's all there is to it. This might end up being the best game of his career. He could go 30 games without a goal next year, you dont know anything after just one game.

 

[Ezpz]

If we win the 2nd overall pick that would be nice. I think we're good at C, getting Kakko would be nice.

And

the difference is, he's a prospect so people are dreaming...

and until proven he can't then the dream is justified as kid can become a star, and not score 4 in any game. Though anyone that dreamt that bullis will become a star after that performance was insane

 

[Hostile Offer]

Usual suspects all worked up on the "it's just one game" narrative. Duh, he won't be scoring hat tricks in every game and it was a meaningless game from the standings POV to give him his first cup of coffee but this is just a ridiculous story.

Asking for a bit of perspective is hardly being “worked up”.

Hopefully otherwise him and KK will be playing behind Weal

dream all you want, it was a solid performance from the kid, but it doesnt have any more meaning that him scoring only one or two or none at all in a meaningless game, his only NHL game of the season...

 

[BaseballCoach]

So guys, after Poehling scores in the 3rd, how many more goals do we need to win this game?

two

 

[WeThreeKings]

I’ll always remember your First comment on this kid when drafted......BUST....

Not to nitpick, and I remember you saying you were a tad lit lol

Looks like he’s good at tipping in pucks AND shooting

Oh yeah drunk and completely misaligned with his american political views. And had clarified my position when sober.

All I ask now through his development is to try to consistently shoot because you have to do that as a playmaker. Otherwise your lanes to pass get tighter as people figure you out.

Anyways, it was a hell of a first game and let's hope he keeps it up. We are gonna need more than a few of our picks to have a better upside than initially thought.

I am starting to think you don't understand English well . As I fail to say I am dreaming . Based on your consistant glass bare replies you should lead a pretty dark life. Well you know what, don't hope don't dream stay in the doom and gloom you see. Good for you . Enjoy it.
I will enjoy last nights performance and see what the future hold . But again you regardless of outcome he is no way in the same position that bulls was
