Poulin's spot on the 28 man playoff roster isn't guaranteed, but the fact that he's even being invited to the camp shows how highly he's viewed by the Penguins IMO. I think there's a good chance that they give Poulin a legitimate opportunity to make the Penguins next year, especially with a stagnant cap.

For anyone who's unfamiliar with Poulin, he was the Penguins 1st rounder in 2019 that absolutely annihilated the QMJHL (32 goals and 77 points in 46 games). The best part about Poulin is that his offense isn't his best attribute, he's an incredibly well rounded player with NHL power forward size. I've been using Brandon Saad as his pro comparable, who also burst onto the scene as a 19 year old after his junior season and played in some playoff games for the Hawks in 2012.
