The hit on Navin wasn't in the clips I linked to and watched. It sounds too big to miss.
Girgensons was the boy-man amongst boys out there. He's a player, and the kind of guy whose game looks best in the dirty areas. If that's his game during a scrimmage, I can only imagine how hard he goes against opponents.
Anyway, I went to the game with a press pass and had a nice quick conversation with him after the game. I'd bet big money on him being the future face of the team.
Also talked to Bailey, who seems to have a great head on his shoulders.
Finally, saw McNabb as I was heading out, had a bag of ice taped around his knee and was limping pretty badly. I wonder if he's had issues in the past or if he suffered something during the scrimmage.

I thought that was it. Didn't get a chance to ask. Hopefully he gets it right; he was limping pretty bad.

Czuczman was in the corner on Girgensons goal, having gone for the hit on Baptiste. Didn't see who his partner was at that moment. Girgorenko is on the backcheck -- I think it's JGL.
Thought the teams were terrible, by the way. I wonder how/why they put them together like that.

Yeah Blues defensive pairings were ridiculous. What was it McCabe, Risto, Zadarov, Mark P, etc... All on the same team...Talk about stacked!

And as I pointed out earlier, the top-six on Blue had older guys with way more experience despite Gold probably having more talent. For example, Gold had guys like Compher and Hurley on the 2nd line who might have more offensive upside than their counterparts Varone and Sundher. However, Varone and Sundher have a bunch of AHL games logged.

They seemed to be in stride better too. Girgs was easily MVP of the scrimmage, as well... Got to talk to him when he had a break with the signings, complimented his play and asked him about his routines and stuff. My Favorite Sabres prospect. Zadorov looked great too.
Watched mbossy's youtube clips - ragged play, which is understandable with guys never having played together but would have expected some more nice passing plays and individual efforts than i saw in those clips.
Grigorenko, if he's the elite NHL prospect people regard him as should dominate against these boys, 80% of whom will never make it in the NHL and i didn't see that.
Read Malcolm Gladwell's 'Blink'.

It's hard to tell much from one one scrimmage, and they're not all boys. Varone, for example, is a two-year pro and 22. With that said, if you wanted to argue that Crosby at 19 would have put up 8 points in this game, I wouldn't argue with you about that.

Hockey doesn't really work like that. Grigorenko isn't a player expected to dominate the NHL physically or with his skating, so why should he in this scenario?
Edit: Not a fan of the book btw

I don't think balancing the teams does anything for the staff. They're using the scrimmage to evaluate player development/growth, so pitting a more youthful Gold team against a more pro Blue team was to rate where some of these longer-term Gold guys are in their development and organizationally.

By the eyeball test, JGL didn't look nearly as bad as the other two, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for this one.
I didn't see Florentino out there, was he injured?
I agree with a lot of the assessments some of you have posted about the scrimmage and I will say that this draft class is probably the strongest this team has had in years. The amount of picks they had gave them a shot to hit on some good players and top to bottom the early returns look promising.
Risto an Zad came as advertised and should solidify the top end of the dcorps down the line.
Compher looks like a safe player in the Curtis Brown mould with mid line skills mixed with heart and determination.
I really like what I say from Hurley and Bailey, two potential home run picks if their development matches their skill sets.
If Baptiste's hands continue to catch up to his feet then he should have a big year in Sudbury.
Peterson is very athletic, love how he plays the puck. He is going to need a good goalie coach to settle him down and teach him that sometimes less is more.
Possler has good wheel, hands and compete and may blossom into something more.
Malone is feisty and quick and shows enough that he may develop into more then a 6th round pick. Locke looks like he will play and Rochester.
Florentino is the wildcard as he didn't play today. Add to this some of last year's crew:Girgs, Grig, McCabe, Kea and they have really formed a strong core moving forward.
Was disappointed Armia and Larsson couldn't make it as those high end forwards lining up with Grig would have made the game a little more competitive.
Kea is my unsung prospect for this team. Will never be a big producer buth that size, skating, skill and intangibles package as your 4th (maybe 3rd) line centre is what wins championships.
One under the radar guy that stood out to me was Brady Austin from Belleville. Huge kid with good mobility who plays within his game. Could turn into a solid Amerks dman and depth guy down the line.
Be very interested toi see what the Traverse City line-up will look like as they should be very competitive. I know McCabe will be back at school by then but I couldn' help drool over the thought of their d lineup for the tournamnet being:
McCabe Risto
Zad Pysyk
McNabb Ruhwedel
Replace McCabe with Gauthier Leduc and it still is a strong corps.

Some Random thoughts:
- Hurley was not happy with the Varone hit.
- Compher and Mackenzie with some major wacking and hacking at each other behind the net and play. It was getting ugly.
- Grigorenko was on the ice for at least the last two goals against. I saw frustration on his face when he was coming back to the bench.
- It was hard for me to follow the prospects at this game. I considered learning the jersey numbers ahead of time. It would have been a waste seeing that the numbers were only on the back of their jerseys. Plus I'm not just following 1 teams players. 40 is a lot of players to want to track.
- A handful of the prospects were limping when they were walking away from the autograph. Just from the development camp and a scrimmage - shows what professional hockey players go through - and most of them aren't even professionals yet.
- I never saw Florentino once. Too many players to track.
- I noticed Austin though. Big.
- Most of them didn't look big canalside though. Even Zadorov looks like a skinny kid. (not to mention Hurley maybe? - looked like a middle schooler). I didn't see Zemgus.
- Thought there would be more people there to see 10k maniacs.
