Thanks Sully.I'll be watching the Guelph and Belleville and Kitchener and Owen Sound game watching Bertuzzi, Nastasiuk and the draft eligible kids. I'll give you updates after the game.

He also added a SH goal late in the game. Seems like he's improving a bit offensively.I didn't watch much of Nastasiuk's game, but he did have a secondary assist on the first goal. He won a battle in the corner and got it to the guy at the faceoff dot and he passed it cross crease to the open guy and he had an easy open net goal.
interesting move. SKA is one of the best teams in the KHL. will get get more or less ice-time there?
Yes he played. Almost 20 minutes of ice time and 5 shots on goal. I honestly wouldn't be too worried about him, he's very talented and plays with a great attitude. Sure, Holmström's numbers are better after 6 games but their teams in general have been scoring at a very different pace (2.2 vs 3.5 goals per game). I doubt Homer can keep up that production but Janmark has potential to produce much more. We should probably wait another 10 game.Did Janmark play? honestly he has been pretty disappointing to me since the second half of last season, he seems to have flashes of high end skill but is so inconsistent.
I know its real early in the season but Holmstrom is outproducing him even though he is 3 1/2 years younger and was just drafted in the 7th.

By the way, here's Janmark's goal from yesterday (at 1:56): http://www.shl.se/video/standalone/10354730/ttvideo/
Edit.
Just noticed Janmark has been 57% on faceoffs so far, best in his team. Two previous years: 33%, 36%. Still a small sample size though.
Hicketts just got an assist on the PP, big scramble in front off his point shot. He sure likes to shoot the puck every chance he can, fired a couple in that one sequence. He enters the zone very well, seems like he has more zone entries than any of the Royal's forwards. Skates very well out and through the neutral zone, had one play where he entered the offensive zone by himself, had no play as his linemates were changing, so he quickly turned around and skated with the puck back out and into the neutral zone and handed it off to a teammate as the analytics crowd rejoices
