Overview
- Dallas assigned Poirier to the AHL Texas Stars, while Calgary expects White to join the AHL Wranglers.
- Poirier was a 2020 third-round pick (72nd overall) out of the QMJHL’s Saint John Sea Dogs; White was selected in the fourth round in 2022.
- Poirier posted 41 and 42 points in earlier AHL seasons but has six points in 35 games this year after losing time in 2023–24 to a skate laceration.
- White has produced modest offense in the AHL, recording five points in 23 games this season, and has taken on larger minutes and penalty-kill work.
- Coverage characterizes the transaction as an AHL-focused depth move, with Calgary’s power-play opportunities shifting to prospects such as Hunter Brzustewicz and Zayne Parekh.
