Looks like he's going to make the main roster. Good news for him, especially given this:
I don't know if I would be so sure about that. The kid really impressed me with his relentlessness, especially on the PK. I don't think it would be crazy to think he could outplay the younguns' and stick around.I think he's one of the guys who'll go down when our injured players (3) return.

Except Palat. Plays have been dying on Palat's stick for the last year and a half.Yeah, but we've seen and moved on from a lot of relentless players who could never turn that relentlessness into any sort of offense. I know not everybody has to be offensively gifted, but you also don't to see plays dying on the same guy's stick over and over.

I think the difference for guys like Smith and Witkowski this time may be the game they're being asked to play. It's more about keeping it simple and emphasizing their grit than needing them to play an intricate speed/possession game.Yeah, but we've seen and moved on from a lot of relentless players who could never turn that relentlessness into any sort of offense.

I generally agree with that, but the strong pre-seasons are for role players in role player spots. The guys you've got to watch out for are the surprise scorers. Verhaeghe is probably the biggest threat of that.Nah, I get that. I just think, over time, frustration builds.
I'm just not sure a strong pre-season equals a full time job for a guy, or guys, who have a history of yo-yo'ing.
According to Joe Smith, Point may be ready to play Thursday.Could it be Paquette? Has there been word on Point?
Thought of making a joke about it being a certain player’s fault, but, you didn’t laugh last timeGemel Smith was garbage
Why does every player have to have there skeletons brought out
