Was not much of a real game though. Both teams could not lose or gain any position in the standings. The game meant zero for both teams. They were basically playing for pride.

The NHL is a better league to play in when your on the cusp like poehling because emotions drive you because of the spotlight.. something poehling really benefits from.

This is no good. Poehling should go down to Adirondack to get top minutes and PP and PK time. Then when he gets his confidence back, call him up to play with Tatar and Gallagher. Danault can take his place in Adirondack and Domi can move to LW so that Suzuki can play 2nd line C and Kotkaniemi can finally get 13 minutes as 3C.
I think he should go in the LNAH to be sure to get top minutes. It's important that he plays over 20 minutes a night.
I called it when people wanted to send everyone down including Mete, Juulsen, JK, ... that they would not play top minutes over AHL vets. This team is what it is. You don't teach new tricks to an old dog.

I have a feeling that Poehling and Suzuki might be taking turns between the AHL and the NHL.

When Poehling comes up I don't think he will ever go back down.
Do you think Evans would look better with Hudon and Belzile or Byron and Weal? How about Lehkonen and Armia?
Uneducated would better describe the “people”......honestly, they are just misinformed on how it works

Personal view? Evans was driving his line and stood out because his linemates' weren't up to his performance and IQ level in that game - despite them being at the top of Laval's depth chart at wing. RP wasn't having the same "catalyst" effect, albeit in a small sample size. To your question, Evans would benefit from muscle on his line if he was going to get a call up whereas RP would bring the muscle with him.
I guess my overall point is that Evans is making a very solid case to be the "5C" and first call up; posters already pencilling RP in as our 2C etc need to realise that he's got a lot of depth chart to climb yet despite his clear potential for years to come.

If you cannot show a pulse at AHL level, how can you do it at NHL level ? Let's close the whole AHL league and affiliate clubs and go with NFL type rosters, then .
I think this is because Evans is more of a real center potentially 3c or 4c, and that Poehling's best path to top-6 status is on the wing. I don't think he is creative enough to be a top-2 line C in the NHL even though his skill set is a tremendous thing to have on the club.

could really use a Poehling in our top 6. I've been saying that for awhile that I think he ultimately could end up a winger.
I've said this before, but I'm drooling thinking of
Poehling-Kotkaniemi-Caufield.

Poehling better focus on doing well in the AHL because it's no cakewalk and he didn't play well over the weekend.

It's early and this could be his first concussion, so perhaps he just has to shake off the rust and then he'll start to feel more comfortable out there. He did have some nice passes at least, which is one of his best assets, really hope at some point they adjust the lines though.

Imagine defending Danault in the top 6 then coming up with this.
Coherence, not even once.

Poehling reminds me of the old smoothie (Jean Ratelle NYR/Bruin center), he can play the game whichever way they want. He's truly a Hab through & through(Winner!!!) Habs are a playoff team and have numerous prospects to add when the real season starts. Make your bets early but beware the Avalanche/Sakic.

Yes because Poehling is half the player the Danault is, right? You've been wrong on just about everything when it comes to Habs prospects and players. There's a very good chance Poehling is never going to be as good as Danault and its a certainty he's not right now.
If he earns it, of course.

Why are so many criticizing Poehling's play when he just had a major injury?

I'm thinking the same... If Poehling is called up... who goes down if there is no injuries? If you add it all up, it's Suzuki or Cousins or someone gets hurt

I wouldn't categorize the injury as "major". But you're right it could have set him back.
Regardless the statement stands. He needs to do well in the AHL. A lot of players let their guard down when sent down. It's no cakewalk.
