With him it's just filling out and building his defensive game. No question of his talent, he's one of the best talents to ever come out of junior A Canada.

In '19 he played in the GOJHL, which is the local Junior B league around my area. I used to work for the one team driving Zamboni for all their home games.
I barely remember him that season. He is a small player, kind of plays with the bulldog mentality. Not overly physical, but plays hard. More of a setup guy than the scorer if I remember correctly. He was traded that season, looking up his point totals he wasn't even a point per game player back then.
He has since blown up; he intrigues me. Maybe he is your classic late bloomer?

He could be. It looks like ever since he went out west he blew up. Maybe he got more opportunity/ice time? I'm not sure, but in 21-22 he really took off for over 2ppg, and was part of one of the best lines ever in the AJHL. Maybe best ever, idk too much about AJHL history. I was surprised nobody drafted him in 22. Could be a case where we just got really lucky he kinda kept getting ignored and we signed him after a great ncaa season. Like I said, he does have to fill out and improve his defense, far from a sure thing. But he's a guy to keep an eye on.

It’s funny because two Finnish guys are actually talking to each other.

Don't blame the goalie!
Today's drill standouts that looked like they were trying to make training camp were Samoskevich, Davies, Sawchyn, McAllister, Brady, Skoog, Romeo, and Vilmanis.
Spence was having a no pressure fun showboaty type of session while Waeber was trying to make the team. AHL worthy at the very least.

Wouldn't be surprised if one of Samo or Sawchyn get the 9 game tryout if they have a decent camp.

Reading the article from GR, it just sounds like the pressure and underperformance got to him. Really surprising because on the surface he always seems so calm, but goes to show you just never know what's really happening with someone.
Really rooting for him to have a great year, and not just because its good for the team, but he seems like a genuinely good kid. Hoping to see him wear that mask with the kid drawings, best mask idea ever.

So goalie depth is:
Bob - NHL
Knight - NHL/AHL
Stolarz - AHL/NHL
Waeber - AHL/ECHL?
Guzda - ECHL?
Really hope we don't send Guzda down but he is younger than Waeber and Stolarz.

"Gave proof through the KNIGHT" solid. The ref helped team name ends in "s" and is therefore incorrect when plugging it into the song.
And we know that he knows that we know that he knows!

I don't know how yesterday went but I wouldn't mind seeing all of who I mentioned getting the chance against whoever the other teams are giving the chance to. But I'd have to agree with our ol buddy @Catsfan7 (name change or..?) on Vilmanis being a bit extra as well. I would think he has to get an honest chance to make the B team at least, raising eyebrows with the hands. Couple AK27 like moves

Do people on Twitter even have brains? I’ve seen bots with more knowledge and morality than most of the dummies on there
Rooting for Knight even harder now

He's insinuating, and let me dumb my shit down a bit and think 50 IQ here, that Knight didnt perform and felt the pressure and caved and when he was sent to the AHL he was unhappy and didnt want to report so he decided to fake needing mental help in order to avoid Zito trying to, or I guess since he said SAVE his paycheck, WAS GOING to void his contract of 950K this year and his impending 4.5M a year contract, for his refusal to report to Charlotte like Zadina did.
