Does anybody know how Roy, DeSimone, True and Helewka have looked?
I only get to watch home games, I listen to road ones on the radio, so it's a little harder to make judgements on players based on the radio.
Roy has looked good when he's out there. He plays bigger than the 6'0, 185 that he's listed. He's physical, and I like his game. He has been scratched for at least 1 (maybe 2?) of our home games, though, so it's a small sample size.
DeSimone was scratched for the last game, and he's looked like he's still adjusting to the AHL game. He looked really good at the end of last year for the handful of games he played. He hasn't looked as great this season. He hasn't done anything, really, offensively (but that's true of basically every defenseman on this team right now). I like his game, but he's scuffling a bit right now.
True has been a nice surprise, I think. Well, at least a surprise to me - I don't follow any prospects coming up, so when they make it to the AHL it'll be the first time I've personally seen them play. I don't know what was expected of True. I am really liking what True has brought to the team.
I really like Helewka. He's one of my favorite players on the Barracuda. He isn't flashy, but he works hard and he's hockey smart. He reminds me a lot of Pavelski in that way. He just does what he's supposed to do, and he does it pretty well.
