Scouting Report
Strengths: Above average skater with a strong shot,
anticipates the play well in the offensive zone. Though not overly
physical, he won't completely shy away from that aspect of the game either.
|
Weaknesses: Has a tendency to avoid the defensive
side of the game, attitude issues have been noted since junior. Consistency
is also a big concern with Pouliot.

Projected Role: 2nd/3rd line forward
