Prospect Info: Ryan Poehling - Part 7

[BehindTheTimes]

His skill is on the low end but his size and skating package is what we need. Poehling needs to find his niche and that takes time for a player like this. He might end up a Josh Anderson type? Habs need to play him on wing IMO.

Habs need to include him in a package while some gms may still value him.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

God this is the most depressing comment ever .. I will provide another example for younger guys .. Lars Eller!

Hall the tools, size, etc .. but somewhat can't put it all together. I think its a bit early in Peohling's case though for that comparison.

Poehling will never be as good as Eller.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Habs need to include him in a package while some gms may still value him.

I agree with that if others are going to give us solid value for him.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Just saying, but Ryan's development seemed to have been going really well until he entered our organization.

He also suffered a concussion early on.

I know, suzuki as well.

 

[Pacciosoftie]

Could’ve traded him for O’Reilly. Thanks MB!

 

[NotProkofievian]

He also suffered a concussion early on.

True. But then he was yo-yo'd between the NHL and AHL, and somehow was allowed to languish for 3 months doing f*** all and now here we are. Eille, it's on da playeur!

 

[Archijerej]

I had really high hopes for a Danault type of player in Poehling. Still do, but can't ignore what I've seen in the AHL.

 

[Maitz]

Could’ve traded him for O’Reilly. Thanks MB!

If I remember correctly it was Poehling + 3rd overall so im okay with not trading him

 

[DAChampion]

Poehling should have spent the entire season in the AHL. Bergevin is continuously obsessed with rushing prospects.

 

[Habs Halifax]

That would have been Poehling and KK correct?

 

[DAChampion]

That would have been Poehling and KK correct?

That's something that people are saying now bit it's not clearly the case that Buffalo demanded the 3rd overall.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Poehling should have spent the entire season in the AHL. Bergevin is continuously obsessed with rushing prospects.

If they perceive that you are adequate defensively and are big, you will get called up and used in a fourth line role for extended periods of time.

It's a cancerous action that they perpetrate over and over again.

 

[Habs Halifax]

That's something that people are saying now bit it's not clearly the case that Buffalo demanded the 3rd overall.

They didn't know it was 3rd OA at that point. It was a 1st before the season started. So it's likely Poehling and Caufield cause the 1st would have been protected.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Poehling should have spent the entire season in the AHL. Bergevin is continuously obsessed with rushing prospects.

And on offloading all of the responsibility of a player's development onto the player themselves, both publicly and I would bet privately.

There should be a clear structure supplied to each prospect by the team. Expectations, and how to get there. There should be no ''taking 100 days to get your head right.'' That's f***ing nonsense how does that happen?

 

[26Mats]

Could’ve traded him for O’Reilly. Thanks MB!

There have been many offers for all our prospects when they're hot. We don't know how they'll all turn out.

Poehling still has 2 years to turn things around. If he spent the next 2 years in the AHL he would be graduating the same time as Plekanec and Tatar did. Nothing wrong with that.

or he is going through the same thing max patch went through where many here thought he should be traded for 4th round pick

 

[salbutera]

Poehling will never be as good as Eller.

May I have the powerball numbers for the draw tomorrow night pls.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Or not.

 

[Frank JT]

Let's being patient with Poelhing.
It's possible that he's having gaming problems (fortnite), and that he likes Trump a lot.
But who care's. He's young.
He could become a good middle6 winger with size in 2 years.
We will need him.

 

[danyhabsfan]

I had really high hopes for a Danault type of player in Poehling. Still do, but can't ignore what I've seen in the AHL.

What was Danault doing in the AHL at 20 years old?

26 pts in 72 games (6 goals)



Poehling
13 pts in 36 games (5 goals)

identical PPG

I had to dig deep to find some comparable.

Most players are in the NHL or way better in the AHL. (are either still in Europe or NCAA)


Tyler Bertuzzi 30 pts in 71 games in the AHL (D+3 season)
Jake Virtanen 19 pts in 69 games in the AHL (D+3 seasons)
Adrian Kempe 20 pts in 46 games in the AHL (D+3 seasons)

We shouldn't expect much more.

 

[Draft]

He's kind of redundant at this point with Evans looking very capable in a potential 4C/3C moving forward and the top of the lineup obviously being taken over by KK/Suzuki/Danault/Domi. I'd prefer to trade him for a scoring winger than keep him in the AHL, play him on the 4th line, or move him to the wing.

Sounds good,package him with some other enticements and get a proven scorer.

Evans will do fine on the wing. No issue there.

I'd rather see Evan's in the top 9 than Byron. We need the size and I think he has more offensive upside.
