FlamesNation prospect wrap-up: Emile Poirier
Photo Credit: Bruce Fedyck / USA TODAY SportsThe Flames currently own the rights to five first rounders from the 2013 draft class, but are still waiting for them to pan out. They’ve seen a lot of success from Sean Monahan, but the drop off is steep from there. Curtis Lazar is the next most successful as he’s played more than 15 NHL games, but is certainly not Monahan in terms of talent.
If there’s any pick from that draft that was going to make it first, it would’ve been Emile Poirier. The Montreal native got an AHL All-Star nod in his rookie season, but soon dropped off, and dropped off hard.
