Poulin blows. Gruden abd Bemstrom can at least skate at an NHL level. What’s the obsession with Poulin around here?

Poulin's been in the organization for five years now. He's on a team that hasn't won a playoff series since before he was drafted. He's on the final year of his contract. As a first round pick the time to show if he's going to play in the NHL is now.

I've generally been pleased with the injection of youth. Especially the defense, St. Ivany and Ludvig show potential and play a tough brand of hockey, that has been missing here for some time.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the game of St.Ivany. I dare to say I'd rather have him in the lineup than Graves.
We traded Ruhwedel at the right time imo. Shea and Ludvig can play bottom pairing minutes just fine.

I also think Poulin can be used more frequently.

I’d rather have Ruh than Karlson any day.

To my eyes Pools hasnt looked like he belongs up with the big boys. Extremely small sample though, of course.

I thought his first game was good and then he hasn't been noticable. I hope he isn't buried because he can't make a line with Carter and Puljujarvi on his off-wing work.

St Ivany has been nice, honestly kind of an upgrade from Ruhwedel.

Ludwig is tough, but I feel like he needs to develop more. Still can, he's young, but missing so much time the last couple years to injury while he burned through his waiver eligibility I feel hurt him. I like him as a 7 for now.
