Speculation: 2013 Rookie Tournament Lines

[Android 16]

Can someone provide comments on Clapperton and Shaw for me. How did they play? upside? etc

Clapperton looked pretty comfortable for his first rookie tourney. He was in the right position with his stick on the ice for the tap-in rebound goal against NSH. He needs to work on his strength so he can win the more puck battles. I noticed he played pretty fearless for a small guy. The "fearless" attribute seems to be a constant throughout our pool of prospects. Other than that, he wasn't really outstanding, but not a liability. His forecheck was relentless. The effort was there.

I don't have much to say about Shaw since I didn't focus on him. He did score against NSH and I noticed that he makes a lot of smart/ safe plays with the puck. Needs more time to develop before the NHL.

Not to be that guy, but shouldn't Bjugstad look really good against a bunch of rookie invites?

Yeah dude, that's the point, and he is. How many guys have we seen that should've but haven't??

I'm guessing Trochek and Petro have their spots already.
