Poirier is listed as injured on Carolina's initial training camp roster Tuesday.
Poirier -- who was selected by the Hurricanes in the fifth round of the 2024 NHL Draft -- figures to be a long shot to make the roster coming out of camp. The 18-year-old winger has shown plenty of offensive upside while playing for QMJHL Baie-Comeau, racking up 51 goals and 31 assists last year. With the injury concern, Poirier almost certainly will head back to juniors for the upcoming 2024-25 campaign but should be on fantasy players' radars in dynasty and keeper formats.
