[Hookslide]

Exactly.

This is team is struggling to score goals, Poitras should be getting less ice time.

Did you even look at the stats the poster was referring to?

I look at the stat that he has one goal this year, and two goals since November 6 2023, that is the stat that works for me, oh and my eyes.

I think he creates a lot of good looks. He is a playmaker.

I like this kid but he should be shooting 400 pucks per day all summer.Definitely needs to work on his shot.Players are not stupid they know he wants to pass it first.

I'm the first one to gaze at analytics with a jaundiced eye, but shot differential and scoring chances aren't exactly deep down the analytics rabbit hole.

But you do you. Neither one of us is making any personnel decisions for the Boston Bruins (Thank God).

Yes, he is, 9 assists, in the same period of time.

Poitras' analytics indicate that the Bruins dominate the play when he's on the ice, and struggle when he's off the ice. For all the perceived issues he has, he's been a huge net positive play driver at 5 on 5. His scoring is a factor of playing largely with low quality line mates and not getting much PP time.

Just the last couple of games his play has improved.
He appears to be getting more comfortable (in a good way) and playing with more confidence.
It's a progression in a positive trend.
Give him time.

Great ! lets show this to all the GMs in the league and see what we can get for him.

Same poster that thinks Coyle is not a problem, I guess his eyes see a diffence between 3 and 2 points.

Poitras at 20 yo is to skilled for this organization
