Poehling cant skate well enough to keep up at 3rd
He's in a position where he either has to hire a skating coach like Suzuki did at age 19
Or pack on some muscle and play the Shawn Thornton 4th line Grit players role
Only way this works is if you got Toffoli-Armia covering his butt
He needs players capable of making up for his speed who can cover him defensively
Armia did it for KK and Toffoli was just amazing with Suzuki and Caufield so it makes him the logic LW given he's a 200ft player
Poehling in between Lehkonen and Armia though kinda makes sense
They can help him jump to the next level
Evans on the other hand is in the same position Danault was with 3 points in 4 games less and 3% better on faceoffs
Playing between Hoffman-Gallagher could be a huge advantage just like Danault got with Pacioretty-Shaw that saw him raised from 4th to 3rd to 1st line in 12 months after traded before his 3rd year pro
