Justin Poirier's Player Profile
Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 3rd: "He skates well, he can beat defenders one-on-one and he has a tremendous shot, but he also scored a lot from the outside, which is why there’s uncertainty about his ability to translate his game to the NHL."Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 3: "Still, the more I watched him the more I’ve begun to believe his goal-scoring package will carry him through the AHL and into the NHL someday. He’s got dynamic hands, a lethally quick release, shot variety (backhand, one-timer, catch-and-release, in motion, standing still), and a sixth sense for getting open and playing off of play-drivers."
Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 28th: "He has a high-end wrist shot and routinely beats goaltenders from range. He skates well enough although I wouldn't call him a blazer. The issues with Poirier come down to his 5-7 frame and that his compete level and perimeter style aren't what you want in a tiny forward."
Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 28th: "He’s always been a goal-scorer dating back to his minor hockey days, although he’s becoming a better heads-up passer. At 5-foot-8, he clearly lacks size, but not skill."
Sasha Lagarde - Dobber Prospects - Apr. 20th: "Poirier has improved in his playmaking abilities by using the middle of the ice more to open up lanes for himself. Poirier has enough pace to keep up with better players and can score in a multitude of ways which is the most translatable element of his game."
