2025 Fantasy Outlook
Poitras was unable to grow his offense in 2024-25, ending the campaign with 11 points in 33 games, just one year after a 15-point rookie season across the same number of contests. The center's decline could be a little bit of a sophomore slump, but the Bruins' substandard season likely played a big part in it as well. The good news is that Poitras should have plenty of opportunities to really establish himself as a middle-six forward in 2025-26. The 21-year-old had 41 points in 40 regular-season games with AHL Providence last year, so the scoring potential is there. Look for him to get over the 30-point mark if he can spend the full season in the NHL. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Bruins in May of 2023.
Dropped to minors
Poitras was reassigned to the minors Friday for AHL eligibility, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Poitras is mired in a 23-game goal drought in addition to a nine-game pointless streak, so an extended stay in the minors could be good for his long-term development. Still, the Bruins will need bodies to fill out the lineup the rest of the way and will want to get a look at several young prospects, including the 20-year-old Poitras.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Poitras cracked the Boston lineup as a 19-year-old rookie last season and was impressive (five goals, 15 points in 33 games) before a shoulder injury which required surgery ended his year in late January. Poitras took part in the Bruins' development camp in early July in a regular sweater, so he shouldn't have any restrictions once training camp begins. He's still a better fantasy option in dynasty and keeper leagues as opposed to redraft formats, but Poitras is worth a look in the final rounds of all drafts given his youth and long-term potential on what projects to be one of the league's better teams.
