Poulin may or may not be the answer. There is no debate the Isles have done a lousy job in developing him. Same for some of the other young players.

I dont think he is the answer, but I also dont think this franchise has given him the best chance they could to help him succeed.

Lets not forget that Poulin was drafted in the 6th round. There was a reason for that. Maybe it's not a development issue as much as it's a talent ceiling issue? More often than not 6th rounders don't become top tier players.

Very good point, we may just expect too much from him.

Speaking of which I thought nelson had another good game. Made a couple nice defensive plays as well as offensive which neither clutterbuck or reign could finish on.
