Poulin put up better numbers last year than ZAR did in the AHL in similar games played.
eh not really apples to apples anymore as he was a vet on a team with a ton of prospects in the AHL.
ZAR AHL stats (age) coming off 63 pts in 38 NCAA games
D+5 (22)- 8 pts in 10 games
D+6 (23)- 29 pts in 41 games
D+7 (24)- 9 pts in 11 games
Poulin
D+4 (21, turned 22) - 4 pts in 15 games
D+5 (22, turned 23) - 31 points in 41 games.
D+6 - TBA
It’s pretty similar. I’m also more comparing stylistically. Poulin probably has better hands and slightly better skating but I don’t see a world where he’s this energy bottom 6er.
