Not that I put too much weight into it (Poehling), but he did get a game at the end of the season and he looked very good, plus the Habs traded Kovacevic, who was probably occupying his spot. We'll see what happens but I think they're leaving the door open for him or Reinbacher, and I'd lean towards Mailloux. Barron is the guy who is there as a fallback if neither seem ready. I don't think they want to keep Guhle playing RD for much longer so I expect one of Struble or Harris to be moved when one of the younger guys make the step.He lost virtually 2 years of development in what would be his draft year and draft plus 1 year. So, he's probably going to need a little more time in the A, which is why I didn't include him as I was just looking at the upcoming season in terms of Dman spots. So, he may get there, but not nearly as close to how far along Edvinsson is at now. Now, he does play the RHD and that is the less crowded side of the Habs D group with Barron and Reinbacher as prospects on that side, while the LHD side is way more crowded with Guhle, Harris, X, Struble, and Hutson competing for spots next season.
