M&G's Top 25 Under 25: #6 - Emile Poirier
like a knife through butter - Adam Hunger-USA TODAY SportsA purely offensive forward, Emile Poirier impresses with speed and accuracy.
Though the Adirondack Flames missed the playoffs (no thanks to the Calgary team pulling all their players to cover the mass injuries), Emile Poirier put up points totals no one would scoff at; he was even named an AHL All-Star. He ended up tied for second on the team in goals - one fewer than David Wolf in four fewer games played, and tied with Garnet Hathaway in 17 fewer - and second in points, trailing Kenny Agostino by one in 12 fewer games played. Without a doubt, he was Adirondack's top offensive player.
