Poirier ranked end of 3rd round, could arguably fall to like the 5th or so, not sure when the last time a 50 goal scorer went that late lol. Size and his skating are serious concerns. I’ve talked several scouts this past year, the consistency has been very impressive for a 17 yr old. The comments are much along the lines, he is a great junior player. Anyone that thinks he is an NHL level player clearly isn’t watching the NHL play offs. Nice to see his continued success. LOL hes 17 let him fill in before you talk about the NHL playoffs. hes gonna be regular NHLer one day for sure hes elite and ONLY 17

Victoriaville really fumbled with the goalie (D'Aigle) second overall. The 4 players taken right after their pick : Maxim Massé, Justin Poirier, Spencer Gill, Bill Zonnon.

I get the desire to pick goalies with high picks but... Goalie is such a volatile position... using a pick in the top 5 on a goalie so rarely works out. I can think of maybe... one example in the past couple decades where it has been the case and that's Olivier Rodrigue. More often than not the best goalie is going to be found somewhere later in the draft.
