B. Pouliot may land second-line role in Tampa
Benoit Pouliot - W - Tampa Bay Lightning
June 24, 2012 - 11:50 AM ET

Don't be surprised if Benoit Pouliot blossoms as a second-line winger in Tampa.

He may get a chance to play alongside Vincent Lecavalier and get a real chance to put his latent offensive skills to the test. "He's got the skill, the ability to play with our top guys," general manager Steve Yzerman said. "We're going to give him the opportunity." Keep an eye on Pouliot during training camp to see if he takes advantage of this opportunity. If so, he could be a nice 55-60 point sleeper pick in 2012-13.
