The 2019 NHL Draft lacks a plethora of large, pure-scoring wingers, but Samuel Poulin is one of them. The son of former NHLer Patrick, Poulin led the Sherbrooke Phoenix in scoring in the regular season with 76 points in 67 games, 17 more points than his next teammate. Poulin’s emergence as a dominant offensive producer this season was a large reason for Sherbrooke’s surprising playoff berth. He continued his point production in the playoffs, adding 14 more points (eight of which were goals) in ten games as the Phoenix were eliminated in the second round.
Poulin may have only turned 18 in February, but he’s had the stature of an NHL player for quite some time now.
