Prospect Info: Rookie Camp 2016

[Hockey Duckie]

Apparently Gulls Twitter is following the camp. Guess it's better than nothing (Stephens, I'm looking at you ) For updates: https://twitter.com/SDGullsAHL

Considering most of the players at this camp will be playing at the AHL level, it would be nice to cover the event. Trying to get the San Diego population hyped up early.

Not sure if it will last, but here's hoping

EDIT: Nope, didn't last.

Kalle Kossila is the real deal. He looks NHL ready. So happy about this signing. He skated with Ritchie and Roy.

Theodore and Montour are studs.

Nick Ritchie looks to have lost weight, and seemed to be faster on the ice.

Kevin Roy's skill level is insane, but he wasn't good in his own zone.

Max Jones didn't impress. Zero skill on display.

Sorensen looked decent.

Edit: I know this is premature, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kossila centered Rakell and Vermette.

I've been high on Kossila and even stated I wouldn't be surprised if he took a spot on the roster. Glad he's still showing well. Roy needs a year in the A to get his D game up to par. He has a lot of skill, so hopefully he can keep his O going at the pro level.

Appears the author believed Jones was a standout today, as was Sorenson. Sorenson, if healthy, could be someone who helps the Ducks this year.

This video sorta says it all for Nick. He's lost weight (particularly noticeable in his face) and appears to have improved his first-step acceleration (he's always had respectable top-end speed).

Edit ~ You know it has been a long summer when conclusions are drawn from 85 second twitter videos. F.M.L. and T.G.I.F.

He already looked like he was shedding some weight at the draft, so it's not a stretch to think he's in much better shape this year.

 

[Paul4587]

He definitely looks in better shape. Fortunately for him too he's got no competition whatsoever for a spot. He's an absolute lock to start the year in Anaheim barring a couple of massive trades.

This is the lineup for the first game against Colorado.

Edit: Bodacious beat me to it. His post is in the prospect discussion thread.

It probably belongs in this thread anyway. 1-1 after the first, Kerdiles from Nattinen.

2-2 after two. Nattinen from Soy.

Is this being broadcast somewhere?

No. Only the Avs twitter feed is following it.

Kerdiles off with an injury, somebody on the Avs picked up a boarding major.

Really, you don't say??? Av's player injures one of our players?? How unusual....

It was Zadorov.

Ducks lose 3-2 in the first game of the rookie "showcase."

That kid has the worst luck.

 

[snarktacular]

That kid has the worst luck.

So a team with both Kerdiles and Noesen, wouldn't you expect that the luck would cancel out or something?

My expectation would be that they would somehow find a way to directly injure each other.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Kerdiles "will be under observation," per Stephens. Won't know if he'll be able to go tomorrow until later.

Ya know, I know that not everyone loves that Carlyle is back, but I think we can all agree that, at least when we play Colorado, it'll be nice to have some caveman mentality behind the bench. We owe that also-ran team about 20 at this point.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I've always been for, an eye for an eye. But I really get tired of this team losing their composure when things aren't going their way. There's a difference between the two. I hope RC makes sure they understand that.

They need to lay off the refs, even though I think that damage is done until Getzlaf retires. They weren't fans of Teemu either. But the cheek-turning towards opponents needs to stop.

Couldn't agree more. But I'm not holding my breath on either account.

Start of the second period vs baby sharks.

Ducks up 3-0

Goals by Roy, Jones, and Ritchie.

 

[heffbe]

FYI - 4-2 Ducks. Goal from K Thompson

SJ is streaming from their FB page. https://www.facebook.com/SanJoseSharks/

 

[duxfan1101]

Goals were:
Roy from Mahura
Jones from Roy
Ritchie from Nattinen and Mahura
Then Keaton Thompson scored early in the 3rd, and Ritchie added an empty netter.
This guy was tweeting the entire game so you can look through what he posted, but this tweet was good to see:
