Benoit Pouliot Trade

I would argue that aside from maybe getting Conacher, Pouliott is the best move Yzerman has made with this franchise. Guy just fits perfectly.

Pouliot hits Phaneuf, takes the puck and kicks it out to Carle for a PPG. 3rd assist tonight and consistent physical presence.

I think this move worked out quite well, SFY.

Yeah, I think we can say that one is starting to bear fruit.

I wonder how many other fans are totally unaware that in 04-05 hockey was happening for Pouliot to the extent of winning both the OHL Rookie of the Year and CHL Rookie of the Year award, in the latter being preceded by Sidney Crosby and succeeded by John Tavares...pretty damn decent company I'd say, and his gifts are right up there with theirs in terms of the hands, if not the playmaking just yet
