Every time I've watched The Rocket, Poehling has been on the wing. So, is the comparison even a question? What if they decided to turn Poehling into a winger?
ero offensive capabilities. This team needs offence, he is a carbon copy of Jake Evans. Last year scored 2 points in 27 games and 0 points in Laval after being sent down. Poor guy , his hat trick made people think he was an offensive player. never has been, was 6th in scoring on St. Cloud. The problem habs have now is scoring, Poehling will be 3rd or 4th line defensive centre at best.Evans is more rounded Poehling if developed proper will become a more valuable player to the habs
He's got more offensive skills than Evans lol, Evans is an energy player with low offensive skills.ero offensive capabilities. This team needs offence, he is a carbon copy of Jake Evans.

And that’s ok because Poehling is almost 3 years younger.
I think Poehlings ultimate upside is higher, while Evan’s is more of a lock to become what we project he will be.
Using the old HF ranking system I’d say
Poehling 7.0C
Evan’s 6.0B
omg these old rankings it’s been a while haha I would be curious to rank our top 10 prospect with those rankings
Tough to say right now. Evans is playing on the fourth line in the NHL, poehling on the first in the A. Both should become bottom line center. Poehling should produce more and be more physical.
Is there such a thing as a "elite 3rd line center"?Poehling will probably be an elite 3C if developed well. Jake Evans might be a decent 3C but looks to be an elite 4C for a competitive team in the future
What are you waiting for?

Wasnt Evans killing it in the A (PPG) after he was about to get scratched? He did his work down in the A, Poehling doing it this year.
Will be interesting to see how Poehling plays at the next level
