Joel Armia:
"Armia played hard every day and showed off his skills. In the week ending scrimmage, though he was held off the score sheet, Armia was a force, especially in the second half he was one of the best forwards on the ice. Armia was so impressive this week that I believe he will play his way into contention for an NHL spot if he can continue this play in training camp. With his size and skill he could fill a bottom-six forward role pretty well."
Tucker Poolman:
"Poolman looked great at camp, he is a smooth skater, and already has developed an NHL body at 6’3″, 210 lbs. His first pass is excellent and he loves to jump into the rush. During the scrimmage he was the best player on his team, and outside of Josh Morrisey, was the best player on the ice, scoring a goal and chipping in with a couple assists. Poolman will not be with the big club for a few years still but this guy showed he may be closer to being ready than most people think."
Ryan Olsen:
"In this camp however, he was very hard to stop. He muscled his way to wherever he wanted and owned the physical game all week. Olsen also showed some scoring touch around the net and proved he may one day be an asset who can provide size, strength, and some goals,"
Sami Niku:
He worked hard and played his position, listened to his coaches, and didn’t try to do too much. He played solid defense and did a good job of it. He is many years away but showed a lot, especially in the scrimmage when he was one of the better defenseman. He provides a solid break out pass and controls the puck very well. He is not going to be your number one at this point, but he will provide you a steady stick on the blue line.
Kyle Connor:
"The Jets first pick in this year’s draft came exactly as promised. Picked 17th overall, the Jets and scouts all around raved about his speed and offensive upside. It was a good one. Connor showed off speed and skill all week, and in the scrimmage in particular, really showed that he is also very reliable defensively , a big plus for a player this young."

I've been hearing great things about Tucker Poolman all year. He played great, in his first season at the UND. I can see him being a dark horse to make the Jets. Good to see lower ranked picks like Olsen and Niku impress. Connor showed what he is made of, and Armia, who has a reputation of being soft, did not show it at camp.
