He probably flies under the radar as one of the most skilled prospects in the Calgary Flames’ cupboards. Most likely because he’s a defenceman and they’re supposed to do defence first, offence second. Not the man that comes in at number 9 – Jeremie Poirier.
A third-round pick in 2020, Poirier is already a point-per-game defenceman for the Saint John Sea Dogs of the QMJHL. He’ll be playing top line minutes and quarterbacking their power play in 2021-22.
