Brazeau and Der-arg....... looked really good today up front. Braz some nice snipes and rocked a couple guys. Der-arg is sweet skater and soft hands. 2 guys who may surprise at main camp. At very least gives us a couple more guys in AHL who can develop and bolster the system.
Brazeau is a Beast.

Hard to tell mostly skating and puck drills yesterday. I think they are scrimmaging today or Saturday I heard. Brazeau is huge, has a presence on the ice and certainly looks like top 3 in this camp. But the Russian kid is by far the most skilled in camp. It is not even remotely close. He has another gear compared to everyone else and he can control puck well when he blasts off. I am really excited we got him. JT went on ice and skated for a bit after camp ended. Good to see him back even if only for e few minutes.

SDA I presume? That's great, but he needs to show up in the regular season.

These camps mean nothing. I remember Sondre Olden looking like a diamond in the rough a few years back and got everybody excited. Look how that turned out.

If it meant nothing, they wouldn't be doing it...

Mean nothing in regards to projecting which prospect will have future success? Perhaps...

Yes there is always a few Alexander Daigles out there but they are rare. My point was we always need to replenish our highly skilled guys in system and then develop them. Guys that are a step faster than everyone else and possess elite puck skills are hard to come by. Does not mean they will be good nhl hockey players but at least the raw skill is there. You could see the skill even at main camp last year but with the young kids it is obvious.

I remember the Leafs held these camps and actually found Trevor Moore from it.

So while some of these guys probably haven't been on the ice in months, you show the kids what it's like in the Leafs organization.

Well if someone is using them for that then that's their fault. It's like declaring someone a defensive beast because they have a positive +/-.

These camps are primarily there to help young players who come from different backgrounds be taught how nutrition works, what exercise they should be doing, and get evaluated for strengths and weakness and given steps to work on getting them to the NHL.

Beyond that, the scrimmage is just a chance to play with some potential future linemates and to allow the players themselves to see where they stack up to their peers.

Seeing SDA wreck the place for example might light a fire under someone who is competitive to surpass him and earn an ELC.
