I think Poulin is a LW. Hes definitely a left-handed shot. And that usually makes for more comfort and most coaches putting you on the left side. I doubt he plays RW except in some short stints on line mix-ups.
In 2016-17. Our 1st line was Kuntiz(who wasn’t getting paid as much as Zucker) and Hornquist. Our 2nd line was for sure Guentzel/Malkin/Rust(sometimes D.Simon or Connor Sheary, who both were on cheap deals also). Which left Kessel and Haglin on our 3rd line(yes, Kessel played on the 2nd line w/ Malkin at the beginning of the season, but come play-offs, it was all Rust). Our 4th line was Simon or Sherry/M.Cullen/E.Fuhr. And Oli Maatta was also on a entry-level deal at the time. Which like I said, was the reason we were able to have such big names on our 3rd line. You can’t pay all top 6 Fowards and expect to have players like Kessel and Haglin on your 3rd line. You need that youth too. You especially need the youth’s cheap entry level contracts.
Legare was one of our top prospects in last years training camp. His defense wasn’t a problem. And isn’t a problem. He’s good in the defensive zone and has a great shot. What is lacking is his skating. But being 6’0, 210pounds makes up for that. Being strong makes up for being a fast skater. I think you have to give Legare a chance to be ready. He’s a RW, right-handed shot, really good on the power play. And w/ Janko being more of a defensive-minded Center. Having 2 scoring wings on his side is a good mix. And like I said, Legare isn’t bad in the defensive Zone. Neither is McCann. And our 4th line is our top defensive line anyways that usually plays the other teams top line defensively. And Legare wont be used on the PK. Janko will with Tanev and Blueger. And obviously Z.A.R when he comes back and healthy.
