Everybody seem to think that it's Poehling or Suzuki to make it in the team. I think we are discounting Jesse Ylonen a bit rapidly here (from what I saw in the games).

The good with Poehling is that he is ready to play a lot of different in the team right now. So I think the 2 others are behind him.
Correct, he's quite a bad skater at the moment. Still would've preferred him to our midget AAA pick this year, among others.

Well i havent seen the other 2 games but those that made a good impression on me were:
Ylonen - Great improvement, another year in Europe will bode him well
York - impressive vision for an invite
Caufield - Deceptive shot, always finds a way to sneak around the D, great passes
Pitlick - Fast & skilled
Poehling - Too strong and the effort wasn't even there
Brook - Money in the bank
Fairbrother - I thought this kid was just a stay at home D but hes got an offensive side to him as well
Oksentyuk - kid's got moves, needs to learn how to finish though
HM: Harris & Leskinen

I think Poehling is the front runner (by a decent amount) out of those 3 to make the team.

Yes. However, the window is tricky. They have to sign him before the start of the OHL season I think ?

Yes because it's already set in stone Ylonen will play another year in Europe.

That was a fun camp all around, the skill and compete level was really good. We've got a good crop going and it's not even all of it, lots to be optimistic about.

He's a 2000 though, so really entering his 19 year old season in the O.
I have seen a ton of him over the years. On a positive, he improved a lot. He seems to be a quick study and he definitely has some puck moving skills. On the downside, he's a bit aloof in the defensive end and prone to many brain cramp moments. Also not the fastest or physically strongest guy. I give him a very low chance of being an NHL player, but he's not a lost cause by any stretch. It's up to him. But make no mistake, we're talking a fringe guy here in every regard. Hawel is similar, but at a different position. (Not play style, but potential).

Anyone else see this: Romanov training solo at Habs facility during development camp.
I feel good about my first round ranking of him in 2018. He's a very safe bet to make the NHL, IMO, because he can be an effective player on the lower lines. It's just more opportunities for him. And he has the upside to be an excellent complementary top 6 forward.

Caufield is so smart always one step a head always in moving. Speed, positioning, shooting, playmaking, even great defensively He was the best player on the ice today.
RHP and Oksentyuk also look pretty good.
Ylonen is fast seem light on is feet, didn’t seem to really push.
I knew Brook was good but Harris isn’t to far behind, he will be a good player.
No one look real bad but Suzuki was pretty disappointing, didn’t move is feet (except on is shout-out attempt) and even with the puck he didn’t create anything...

My bad. He didn't play in the CHL last year. Was just drafted into it a day ago, so that complicates things more to the point where the window has closed, or hasn't opened yet ?

I am not sure you watched the same game as I did... Suzuki created at least 2 scoring chances all alone to his teammates that failed to convert. You can see that unlike his teammates that want to push and skate fast, Suzuki prefer setting play up and play a possession game.
Suzuki is not dynamic yes but to say he did not create anything is simly pure lies.
Also Poehling created 2 awful giveaway by trying to do to much, one created a breakaway and nobody say anything because Poehling is big and dynamic.

Yeah Poehling forced a lot of plays all through the 3 days. It's his game though and I won't fault him, he's a powerful guy. I'm sure he won't try those at the pro camp.
Suzuki was like 40-50% effort. Let's see later on.

Same, I've been raving about him on the prospect board before he got drafted. He has the skills to make risky plays but choose to make the safe plays more often than not. I see it as high IQ. When he's gonna feel confident enough to split the D and use his nifty hands in the danger zone more often is when it's gonna get interesting.
