Love Abramov. I got some flack for putting him at 8 on our prospect rankings. He's gonna have a big year.

Just noticed Sens and Jets play 3 games while Habs play just 2. What kind of tournament is that?

I'm hoping this kid turns into a long-term version of what we wanted Zack Smith to be. He's got a long way to go, but he has the work ethic to get there.

He looks really good with the puck on his stick. When the games get more structured we will be better able to get a feel for his defensive play.

For a guy who was never a highly touted prospect, Zack Smith was pretty good for us for a few years. He's 3rd round pick who played 600+ games in the show - that's outstanding value.

Smh, that Batherson to Brannstrom exchange and toying of the forechecker for Abramov's first goal reminded me of Stone and Karlsson.

I've been insanely busy this weekend and have missed the games so far, thanks for posting this!

I was at the game last night. The Habs prospects were really focusing on the Sens' top line, not wanting to get embarrassed like the Jets.
Abramov was good but the guy that impressed me was Formenton. He comes in on the fore check like a wrecking ball. There's a nastiness to his game that should translate at the next level.

Batherson delayed while Brannstrom backed away to get more open/room and Batherson fed him. Batherson is really smart. There were a couple tap ins missed by both teams. I think Montreal might have had 3 misses. Batherson fed Formenton on a really great pass right in tight that Formenton didn't cash on .. All he had to do was angle his blade and it was in.

- really nice to see a Sens team dominate physically for a change & these young guys are initiating the hitting & winning board battles.
- really nice to see a Sens team playing a structured game properly, Trent Mann has been really good for the young players & should help develop Ottawa's top prospects who will play for him next season.
- Abramov had a hell of a game & reminded me of Ottawa's Hab killer Pageau. If Pageau is moved, all of the Gatineau fans that came out to see Pageau regularly can look forward to watching Abramov in future.
- Formenton is going to be so much better than people have thought, he will average at least one breakaway per game & if he can gain more wrist & arm strength he is going to score a lot.
- Kastelic already looks like a pro player & the coaching staff seem to already trust him to take key faceoffs like the one he took on the PP that eventually led to Abramov's tip in goal off the Brannstrom shot where Kastelic won the faceoff.
- don't you just love watching the next Battleship Kelly piss off opposing players?
- I thought Nathan Todd looked good & was being used regularly by the coaching staff. Wouldn't surprise me if Belleville finds a way to give him a PTO.
- Joey Daccord looked good yesterday, but I assume he will start the yr in Brampton as Gustavsson & Hogberg both have to start their pro careers.
- Aspirot has had two good games, if Belleville can't use him maybe Brampton could.
- I though Gruden & Davidsson both had better games playing with Norris than they did yesterday when he wasn't in the lineup. Norris looked very good against the Jets especially in the second period where I thought they were the best line during that period.
- Maxence Guennette RD is quietly having a pretty good tournament with three assists in his first game. I don't think anyone would have guessed that & now is added to Ottawa's RD depth.
- Beaudin looks a lot better than I thought he would be, I still consider him to be an AHL player but his good play will only make the overall Belleville team better with a lot more depth.

Hoping Abramov makes the Sens asap, his goal celebrations are NHL-ready

I agree with everything except the Nathan Todd comment. I thought he was bad. When the Sens were being swarmed in their zone, Todd managed to get the puck on his stick but was too slow (mentally and physically) to do anything with it. The Habs took it from him and the swarm continued. Just my amateur opinion.
But I agree with you on Guenette, Kastelic and Beaudin.. none of them looked out of place. And Davidsson is a really good skater which many have commented on before.

Had the Habs farm system ranked 6th, the Sens 12th and the Jets 27th.. and yet the Habs prospects couldn't get one win this tournament / showcase

Caufield and Romanov are the big prospect they were missing. There was other prospects, but i don't know them well.
Sens were missing JBD, Thomson, Tychonik, Norris ( against habs ), Crookshank, Pinto and others.

They were missing 5-6 out of their top 10 prospects including their top prospect. Not to mention that outside of maybe the first 10 minutes of the game, they were much more disciplined and outplayed the sens rooks
