I have always thought that in lopsided games, you can get some valuable information about players, despite the loss. You key on individuals and who continues to skate and make plays even when the team is down big.
Also, I don’t think scouts are going to recommend or denounce a trade based on one viewing...unless they are HF posters also
Agreed on lopsided games being a potential character test.
This is NOT a great comp but when I was coaching AA in Ottawa, during tryouts and exhibition games we were trying to decide on the last spot up front. We were getting pounded by a team and one of the kids we liked but were still deciding on hit the ice to block a shot with a few minutes left in the game and my assistant coach and I looked at each other, said nothing but we knew what each other was thinking and that was this kid`s the one were keeping.
He went on that year to be one of the most reliable and hard working kids we had
