I dunno guys. Those highlights just seem like Wheeler overhyping our draft picks.

It’s a training camp. Of course there’s pressure and expectations but it’s not a real game. There’s nothing to glean other than being pumped they’re improving the likelihood of them making the team. That’s all I want from that camp.
If they’re making these plays in the wjc then you’ve got something to hang your hat on.

No doubt. I’d be really impressed if all three make it. Rees is going as a role player and almost has an easier path than the other two. There’s only six to nine scoring spots for the other two. They likely had preconceived notions about players and may have certain preferred styles in mind, so our guys may really have to blow the doors off to change someone’s opinion if they weren’t expected to make it going in. They’ve all played for team Canada at other levels. All three are legit nhl prospects, but none of them look like first line talent yet. Wjc’s can change those expectations though.True. It's just important to understand that Canada's talent pool is massive. If our recent high picks are making names for themselves with that insane level of competition, that's a good sign.
Asked to comment further, he said “If he’d been born John Rees, I’d doubt he’d be able to get over the boards.”
I was just poking fun at bleed. I'm happy they looked good at this so far. I have high expectations for the three even if they don't live up to them. These exhibitions are nice and good to see them look well right now but like bleed said, I just hope it's a means to them making the team.Hedging, you say? LMAO, normally I wouldn't be that impressed, however, these highlights are all against very strong competition, relative to the age group. Basically like an All-Star game except everyone is putting in 100% efforts because the NHL scouts are carefully watching their every move.

And if he'd been born John Cleese, we'd all just laugh at him.And if he'd been born John Kreese, I doubt he'd be able to get over a scrawny teenager from New Jersey.

Alright, that's quite enough. This entire premise has become rather silly.
You need bottom six guys though and I pretty strongly disagree that higher skill guys can easily fill those roles. You dont get Foegele or Mcginn from Tieksola and Pashin. I'm not against swinging for the fences at all as long as there's balance.
No it hasn't.Alright, that's quite enough. This entire premise has become rather silly.
If he'd been born Kyle Reese he wouldn't have been born yet but would have traveled back in time to be here
No, he'd be born and available to be selected in the 2022 Entry Draft.If he'd been born Kyle Reese he wouldn't have been born yet but would have traveled back in time to be here
If he'd been born H.B. Reese he would make peanut butter cups instead of playing hockey, and he'd also be dead!
