Judging by the production (or lack of) from some of our marquee prospects, quite easily it seems. (Hey, when a theme works for me I stick with it.)
I’m referring specifically to forwards Samuel Poulin and Nathan Legare, both currently toiling for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in varying capacities.
Once upon a time the pair were arguably the hottest commodities in the Penguins’ prospect pipeline. After piling up 76 points in 67 games with Sherbrooke as an 18-year-old, the Pens snagged Poulin with the 21st pick in the 2019 Entry Draft. GM Jim Rutherford then traded up to nab boyhood pal Nathan Legare two rounds later with the 74th overall pick.
