Any of you guys familiar with the Pouliot kid we drafted? Everything I see says he's a great offensive defenseman capable of running the powerplay and leading the breakout, but needs to work on his defense. Doesn't really tell me much, like how far away he is from starting at the back for us.
Speaking of that, I know almost nothing about Brenden Sutter, but his numbers look pretty solid from last year. I'm still a little upset at Staal being gone but almost everyone I've seen has said we abused Carolina in the deal, so I'm good with it. I hope Staal gets to play top line Center down there because I bet his production will increase even though he's not surrounded by Sid/Geno just coz he's going to be THE GUY. He's got the quality to do it, anyway.
