Samuel Poulin might not have the flashy puck-handling of some of the top players in the draft, but he generates his offence in many NHL-translatable ways. Add to that a solid two-way game, and the winger could realistically be the best QMJHL player in this draft class.
Birthplace: Laval, Quebec, Canada
Shoots: Left
Position: Wing
Height: 6’2’’
Weight: 207 lbs.
Team: Sherbrooke Phoenix (QMJHL)
Despite being one of the younger players on his team, Poulin was the motor of the Sherbrooke Phoenix this season. He was the only player to break the point-per-game mark, with 76 in 67 games, racing out to a 17-point lead over his next closest teammate in the process.
