Zadina - hopefully he can start to produce because I really like his play this preseason. If not, he would be great on a third line.
Eklund - kid belongs in the NHL. His hustle on the forecheck and on the kill is great. The pass for Bordeleau’s goal was amazing but I was impressed with him creating separation when picking up the puck off the wall and then using his left arm to protect the puck from the defensive stick after his quick turn.
Bordeleau - best game I’ve seen him play for a while. Better discipline with the puck, not as many silly plays that were never on. Still has a way to go.
Musty - for his first game at this level, he looked solid. Lots of potential there.
Lindblom/Zetterlund - meh. I’d sign and play Bailey over both of them.
Thrun/Burroughs - both good and solid.
Knyzhov - nothing to complain about his game, but probably needs to do a lot more to get into the big club.
Gawanke - I liked what I saw. Should see NHL time this season. Pretty good puck mover and he has a nice hard shot.
Emberson - did really know what to expect and I like his game. Good two way D.
Kahkonen - looked really good. Hopefully it translates to the season when he is facing NHL shooters.
