Ok, quick post just so everyone knows. As it stands, I don't know much about Pouliot except that he was drafted just ahead of Price in the 2005 draft and that he is a big underachieving player.
Here are his career stats:

It looks like a pretty clear case of swapping one struggling player for another.
More analysis later...

Who for who? Exactly.
Its a decent swap... both players could use a fresh start. Although I would think that Minnesota gets an early advantage with Pouliot considerably less experienced or physical than Latendresse.
Latendresse,for whatever reason(no talent,no brains??)would not do what the coaching staff wanted him to.Maybe with less pressure in Minny,he might do ok.As for Pouliot,have heard he's the lazy sort,so that doesn't bode well for a long future,in Montreal or anywhere else.
Good move should upgrade the Habs to eleventh spot. GO SENS GO!
