Prospect Info: 2024 - #156 OA - RW Justin Poirier

[DaveG]

small sniper out of the Q - put up some monster goal numbers (51 in 68) and big points in the QMJHL playoffs (27 in 17)

I had this guy as a potential 3rd rounder.

upd: skating appears to be something of an issue, if he can work on that it's a home run.

Wow, he fell quite a bit. Small shooter. Debrincat comparison. EliteProspects had him at 44.

 

[Stickpucker]

Isn't this guy a mma fighter that just got choked out a couple weeks ago after fighting for a BMF belt?

 

[HisIceness]

Is this the 2nd coming of Jarvis?

[CandyCanes]

So we got the next Crosby, nice.

 

[DaveG]

Is this the 2nd coming of Jarvis?

maybe DeBrincat if his skating can be improved.

 

[Justicebork]

Great pick, the kid can score

The physicality at 5’7” is fun.

Canes love their smurfs draft picks.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

The physicality at 5’7” is fun.

Might as well go ahead and nickname him pinball cause he’ll be bouncing off everyone at the pro level

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

Theo Fleury

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Theo Fleury

Now THERE’S a guy who played NHL games. We should’ve drafted him.

 

[Bub]

The physicality at 5’7” is fun.

New nickname will be "Nutpuncher."

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

He’s 185lbs already which is quite a bit heavier than I expected him to be given his height.

Fatty boombalatty?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Fatty boombalatty?

He’s French-Canadian so maybe Fatté Boombalatté

 

[HisIceness]

He’s French-Canadian so maybe Fatté Boombalatté

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

I'm sorry, I hear "small and can't skate" and immediately gag

 

[bleedgreen]

He’s a stocky little fire hydrant, ain’t he?

 

[Stickpucker]

He’s French-Canadian so maybe Fatté Boombalatté

I so want us to draft a frenchie who play their entire career for the Canes and end up in the HHOF.

Would be even tastier than le ofre hostile.

 

[A Star is Burns]

He's one of those guys that likely doesn't make it, but if he does, it could be a big hit. I did see him mocked to us in the 2nd a few places, so I reckon it's good value in the 5th.

 

[LakeLivin]

Floor: Nathan Gerbe with more scoring chops.

Ceiling: Martin StLouis

I can live with that.

 

[Justicebork]

He's a poison dart. Would love for him to make it to the NHL, he would be fun to watch.
