I thought they were pretty solid.
Not sure where you get that Johnston is the "most impressive prospect". He was probably the biggest surprise since he played well and isn't a top 20 rated guy. He's also 3 years older than the big names(Scherbak Fucale Lernout McCarron Bozon etc) on the roster.
Well because that's was my point. The tournament. I'm pretty sure I wrote that I wasn,t writing anybody of. I shouldn't even had to write it....but I did it in case it was not seen that way and even when I do....somehow I have a reply about Johnston being 3 years older than the kids. Yeah I know....it doesn't change the fact that Scherbak struggled immensely IN THAT TOURNAMENT. Nylander also was 3 years younger and more than most Leafs prospects and yet....CLEARY didn't look as lost as Scherbak. For that tournament. Even though it's not that great of an example as Nylander will probably also always look better than Scherbak till the end of their career.....yet, we are not talking about the same level of prospect here. And while Nylander will always look great....Scherbak do have skills that could make him look awesome for also years to come. Yet, again, my points on that post was to talk about the tournament. McCarron looked okay...Fucale had some very good and some more bad moments etc. Johnston looked better than everybody else, hence my point. For that tournament. Some people were targetting Scherbak to have a roster spot right in October....of course if the kid doesn't look better...he won't even see 2 preseason games. So we're mostly just talking about the rookie camp here....and I think Johnston looked better than most. And I even add the development camp when, also, Johnston looked amongst the best out there.
Hudon was the most impressive guy we had out there, made things happen on almost every shift.
Let's agree to disagree. He clearly wasn't that obvious in most of the games. A couple of goalposts can't suddenly give people the impression that he was lights out the rest of the game...he wasn't. Yet, as I said, I'm not writing off for the future....obviously.
