Agreed - sophomore slumps are usually experienced by players who perform at an unsustainable pace in their rookie years. For example, if Poitras continued to play as a PPG player like he did early this year - I would say he was a candidate for a sophomore slump. IMO he has hit a wall because he is still undersized and developing - the hockey IQ is there. Give him a full offseason in an NHL program to add strength, speed, and endurance and he should be able to be full-time player in the top-9/top-6 next year

He is a UFA.

Oh I see what you’re saying. Yeah not doing that 7 years is fine

Tell that to Noah Hanifin who I imagine will certainly want the full 8 years

Then he can pound sand sign where he is

If you’re going to let a 3rd round pick stop you from getting Noah Hanifin idk what to say

We don’t have a third round pick 😂
