B21 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Feel bad for the kid but if @flyercanuck says he needs time in the A, then he needs time in the A. Looks like he'll be back in time to log almost a full season in the A. Penguins' prospect Pouliot out 4 to 6 monthsMay 21, 2014 5:43 PM By Shelly Anderson / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Defenseman Derrick Pouliot, one of the Penguins' top prospects, had shoulder surgery today and will be out 4 to 6 months. Pouliot, playing for the junior Portland Winterhawks, was injured in the Western Hockey League tournament final. He was the WHL defenseman of the year this season.

flyercanuck Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 @B21 By "time in the A" that could mean anywhere from a couple months to years. I think Pouliot would likely make the transition quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was think a season. Or - 3/4 of a season now based on the timetable for his return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 @B21 I figured a season at most. Which is why I also thought Letang was moveable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
