He must have been skating with some absolute gems this summer....Apparently Newhook absolutely crushed it today in every category (except size, obviously) and the only forward that could hang was Ranta.

To be expected imo. He and Byram should both looks like NHLers playing against amateurs, and that’s exactly what they are.
Ranta always looks good in drills. Needs to show it in a game setting too.
That’s what I’ve heard on Ranta too. I’m excited to see how he plays in pre season. Apparently him and Bowers beefed up.
+1 here, he’s looked fantastic. He’s in that mode where everything he does looks easy. It’s been big boy stuff like consistency, great footwork, etc than ok he’s just faster than most of these dudes (he is tho). Obv games plus real camp are bigger tests but he just brings so much to the table, if they can’t figure it out then better ain’t walking through that door.Man I don’t know what Ranta did today but he’s got the DNVR guys hyped as all hell.
How did any of the ATOs look?+1 here, he’s looked fantastic. He’s in that mode where everything he does looks easy.

I’ll give a HM to Beaucage. He wasn’t second best per se but exceeded my expectations. Real camp is a huge test for him tho.
TBH I liked the Sampo-Foudy-Beaucage line best today, all three were pretty fun and worked well together.
I guess O’Brien if I had to pick one stood out, he does have a bit of skill? I really am not taking any of those dudes serious though and it’s impossible when they all practice together with no numbers.How did any of the ATOs look?
