While we touched on Ryan Poehling’s possible trajectory over the weekend and what his future could hold with the Pittsburgh Penguins, there’s another piece of the puzzle too.

Our pals at Habs Eyes on the Prize took this perspective on Poehling’s past and where he was unable to find his footing in his first organization over the past few seasons.
