Jim Montgomery's Shocking Statement About Rising Prospect
Matthew Poitras has been turning heads at the Boston Bruins' training camp. Despite his youthful age of 19 and a slender build, his exceptional puck control and playmaking skills have been on full display.
While he hasn't yet faced a complete NHL lineup, Poitras is making a compelling argument for a prominent role, potentially even as one of the top two centers.
Coach Jim Montgomery had high praise for Poitras, commending his poise and intelligent decision-making during a recent preseason match.
Following the departures of key figures like David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron, Poitras stands as a viable candidate for the second center position. This could place him between the offensive talents of Brad Marchand and Jake DeBrusk.
However, Poitras' destiny isn't sealed just yet. He has the opportunity to feature in up to nine NHL games this season before exhausting his entry-level contract. If he needs more development time, a return to the OHL's Guelph Storm remains a possibility.
