Prospect Info: Ryan Poehling - Part 7

None of that makes him better than Danault.... RIGHT NOW....

I feel they will put Lehkonen and Gallagher with Evans to have that shutdown/200' line. Poehling might make the team on the other two lines not named Suzuki or Evans. It's a usage thing and Poehling would be brought along and tested in certain game situations before he is trusted full time. Exactly how Suzuki was managed

Claiming that Poehling is already better offensively than Danault isn't really setting the bar very high. Hopefully he can score more than 5 goals a season.

Depends on usage. Danault in the last year and a bit was not playing any PP and he was getting 65-80% of his starts in the D zone. Poehling won't be asked to play that role that early. It's deeper than looking at offensive stat sheets
