Overall, the guys I expected to shine, shined.

Of the unknowns, cederqvist stood out a lot. Incredibly polished play.

No real disappointments.

This isn’t Samuelsson’s style, and he still managed a few odd man rushes.

Cozens injury was definitely disappointing, because it cost white one of their 2 scorers.

Solid Tourny. Hope tage continues to build that dzone play.

Gold

- Loved Olofsson of course. Would be shocked if he isn't in our top-6 (or at least top-9) opening night

- Ruotsalainen is very intriguing. Smaller guy with a lot of skill. Top-9 upside and a nice get for our shallow forward prospect pool.

- Borgen is a man already. Start in Rochester but hopefully he can be the big defensive presence (next to Dahlin?) on our blue line sooner or later

- Cederqvist was a lot more noticable than I was expecting. Obviously just a camp scrimmage, but he showed a lot of promise. Hoping he can have a great year in Sweden.

Blue

- Got to give it up to the camp invitees DiPietro and Cooley. Both play with great pace and made their case for some kind of contract.

- Davidsson and Thompson were a mixed bag; they were able to find the net some each but there was definitely some questionable plays mixed.

- Was not a big fan of how Johnson started the tournament but got better as it went along. Good way to cap it with a slick shootout goal.

White

- Passolt was another really good invitee IMO. Plays agressive and with speed, maybe there is something there.

- I like the Finnish force on the blueline in Laaksonen and Kuokkanen. Both mobile and willing to jump up in the play.

- Big guys with limited mobility aren't my thing. A few times you see Murray and Samuelsson not being able to match the pace. Still lots of time for Samuelsson especially, but it's something that he will have to continue to work on.

People won’t admit because they hate Thompson for no reason at all, but him and Olofsson were a tier above everyone else.

Oloffson needs to be Eichels LW next year. Skinner is getting paid enough, he can carry his own line.
Thompson sucked.

Oloffson on Eichels wing would have to make him a favorite for the Calder.

Shouldn't we be putting guys with Eichel AFTER they receive contracts, and not before?

Eichel is going to get everyone paid handsomely.
