Sam Poulin needs to get a real look

Related Topics: Noel Acciari

It is a well established fact at this point that the Pittsburgh Penguins do not have a particularly deep farm system. Or even a good farm system. In fact, it is a pretty bad farm system. But the one player in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton that might have something of a future in the NHL is 2019 first-round pick Sam Poulin, and he is getting a call up to the big club following an injury to Noel Acciari.

You know what?

It’s time to find out about him.

He is 23 years old, he is not really a true “prospect” anymore (more of a suspect, I’d say), has produced reasonably well in the AHL this season and the Penguins, for all intents and purposes, have nothing else to play for this season.
