Link to articleMore than 30 years ago, when Dave Poulin was skating for the Dixie Beehives junior club in Mississauga, he couldn’t get a single NHL team interested in drafting him.
Today, he’s found a new home with one of the league’s most historic clubs.
The Star has learned that Poulin, 50, will be announced at 10 a.m. today as the new vice-president of player development for the Maple Leafs, essentially moving into the third slot in the Leaf executive lineup behind president/GM Brian Burke and his right-hand man, Dave Nonis.
Hopefully he can flourish in his new role. He will be a key component should Nonis leave next summer.
