Wild have big plans for Pouliot: The Wild have big plans for forward Benoit Pouliot, the fourth overall pick in 2005 who has struggled at times to adapt to the defensive style of play coach Jacques Lemaire demands of his centers. He spent most of last season with Houston in the AHL and played in 11 games at the end of the season. "My offense is good. It's defense I need to work on," Pouliot said. "That's what they really want me to do and that's what I'll try to do." (Updated 07/15/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Pouliot appears to have the fourth-line center job sewn up in what is shaping up as a talented but inexperienced centermen corps behind Mikko Koivu, Eric Belanger and James Sheppard. As a fourth-line forward, we can't expect much offensive production from Pouliot going into the season. He is basically a wait-and-see Fantasy project. (Updated 07/15/2008).
