Despite playing for the Bruins this year, Poitras is the same in junior as he is in the NHL, a really solid defensively sound 3C. Can't be relied on for offense.
Spot on, although I may argue that their best player has been Rousseau, but that's splitting hairs at this point.
I agree with your assessment on Poitras. Same can be said for Minten, who they seem to want to keep running out there on PP1 and he's clearly not an offensive guy.
It will be interesting to see how they deploy Firkus, who is probably now their most offensively skilled player outside of Celibrini.
