Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 Pouliot is most likely a depth signing.I can see Durno playing on the 3rd or 4th line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DangleDangleBeach 16 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 they both can play 3rd and 4th line. durno was a ppg when sent down to the minors last year by the avs and pouliot nice sign for TB. Surprised Pouliot had to take a 2-way deal. Pouliot looked very good in the 2nd half last year for Edmonton after coming back from his injury, scored at a 16-16-32/82 games playing 3rd/4th line minutes with no PP time, which is excellent.

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 I'm expecting Pouliot to be playing in Norfolk most of the year unless the Lightning run into injury problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be exciting though. I'm surprised at how much I'm looking forward to seeing these guys next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F2B&G 15 Report post Posted July 26, 2010 Played at Michigan Tech. Did not expect that to be the first reply. He's almost 30. It was cool to see him finally get some playing time in the big show last year and get his first NHL goal, even if it was with the Avs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjm502 165 Report post Posted July 27, 2010 Pouliot has some pretty good talent and potential. He could very well be a Cleary, Eaves, Lilja, Samuelsson type guy for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 27, 2010 I think Durno will be a regular in Tampa Bay's lineup,but they're stacked with centers,and I'm not sure if Pouliot could play wing.He'll most likely be a 13th or 14th forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, that's a lot! 176 isn't exactly a lot of games, and he has done nothing, tbh I don't know why there is an argument over a TB 4th liner who has had a history of getting laid out on occasion on this board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted July 27, 2010 Pouliot is most likely a depth signing.I can see Durno playing on the 3rd or 4th line. I don't know, in my opinion, Pouliot is a better player and is much younger, but that doesn't mean he'll get playing time over Durno. Need to look at needs (centre, wing, etc.) they both can play 3rd and 4th line. durno was a ppg when sent down to the minors last year by the avs and pouliot nice sign for TB. Surprised Pouliot had to take a 2-way deal. Pouliot looked very good in the 2nd half last year for Edmonton after coming back from his injury, scored at a 16-16-32/82 games playing 3rd/4th line minutes with no PP time, which is excellent. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think Durno was anywhere close to being a ppg player at anytime last year. Where are you getting that info? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
