Motew played in Kitchener last season, meaning we will have half of their D-core at camp - Hamara, Andonovski, and Motew.

James Stefan - son of Patrik, yes, THAT Patrik Stefan - has been a top scorer for Portland these last two years.

Walinski is almost 25 and played Div III & then a few ECHL games last year.

Mackenzie is a first time eligible, undrafted small goalie coming off a solid season as the 67s 1B, where he posted a 21-2-3-1 record.

There's nobody on that roster that can stop Xhekaj and Parker-Jones from doing whatever they want to whomever they want.

You think Kleven and Boucher cant handle Florian Xhekaj? Boucher is going to murder players out there.

Parker-Jones is a big boy though. Can he fight? I honestly dont know.

In a fight Florian Xhekaj would smash Tyler Boucher. Wouldn't even be close. Xhekaj is much bigger, has more experience, better balance, can throw with both hands. He got that dog in him.

Boucher played in that rookie tournament game last year when Arber Xhekaj terrorized the Sens and put Lodin, Latimer and Massicotte on IR. Where was Boucher? No response whatsoever.

I have no idea whether Tyler Kleven can fight. Lots of big guys have no idea what to do with their hands.

Parker-Jones did pretty decent against long time AHL heavyweights PC Labrie and Dylan McIlrath last year. He would have no trouble dusting an 18/19 year old kid.

Is Xhekaj actually much bigger? He was listed at 6'3 183 at the Habs rookie camp, Boucher is what, 6'2 205?

You mean Florian or Arber? I hope Arber has aged out. Florian is tough but his more reasonable size is a more fair matchup against a lot of these sens guys.

Parker-Jones is huge but he seems like a Ben Harpur. A guy who knows he needs to have that in his game to stay in the pros but that isn’t a natural. Not too worried about him.

Either way the sens have a lot more toughness throughout the roster than last year.

They also have lots of size with 8 guys 6’3+.

Clear L against McIlrath and got tuned up by Scott Sabourin.

You’re right he might be able to bully the kids though. Still nothing of the level of Arber to be worried about.

I think you are massively underrating Boucher but you have been hating on him for a while. Arber is a way bigger and tougher than Florian they arent the same thing at all. You are giving all the benefit of the doubt to the Montreal players are you even a fan of this team? Sabourin pumped Parker-Jones last year who were you cheering for exactly?

I think we all watched Ostapchuk drop that giant. He can chuck ‘EM too if needs be.

Either way it’s the rookie tournament, the kids will be fine.

I have been dumping on Tyler Boucher for a long while now. Nothing personal against the player - I just think it was a terrible pick that has continued to age really poorly. I want nothing more than for him to make me look like a jackwagon over these next few days.

One name that intrigues me is Mitch Martin. He looked really good in development camp, as in, "scramble for a program to figure out who the heck that guy is" good during the three on three tournament. He's a big, rangy guy also - I hope he can go out and earn himself a contract in the next few days. He's slated to head into his overage year in Kitchener but who knows - a good showing here might land him in the AHL. He's 6'4" so size isn't an issue...
