Funny considering my excitement and belief in his abilities as a great prospect was shot down due to being someone who knew nothing about hockey...

You come in here just to post about something I supposedly said to you perhaps a year ago just to start a fight?
1. Can you provide the exact quote I said since I have no recollection of this.
2. You are really something for bringing up an argument that happened half a year ago. Get over yourself.
*edit...i found the post you were inferring to. I will paste it later. You claim:
1. Poolman will be a top 4 defenseman (highly unlikely)
2. Enstrom is garbage and should be off the Jets (I disagree)
3. Logan Stanley is a beast and going to be one of our top defenseman in future (no chance)
I never said Poolman was not a good prospect. I said Poolman will probably be a RHD slightly better than Postma, but not as good as Myers, Byfuglien, and Trouba. You were hyping him up to be the next best thing, when in reality he will be a bottom pairing d-man.
In terms of the left side, Morrissey, Kulikov, Enstrom will be in our top 6. Poolman will most likely either be the 7th d-man or sent down to the AHL at the start of the year. I like Poolman but I'm still uncertain he will crack the roster other than press box or replacing an injured player.
I'm far more confident that Niku, who happens to be 4 years younger than Poolman, will crack the regular lineup after a season of adjustment in the AHL. As for you declaring Stanley a "beast" and our future star LHD, I think you are full of hot air, as referring to yourself as bragging that you are an expert at judging defensemen. Stanley's a bust and will be lucky to ever make it on the Jets lineup. Valabik II.
