Confirmed with Link: Development Camp Roster

[henchman21]

What's the main warts to his game? Looks like he was getting 3rd line minutes so that explains the production to an extent, but I guess most scouts didn't think he has enough talent/offense that will translate to a NHL level?

There’s worry on the talent level and his size/skating combo leaves some to be desired. He’s flashed at different points, but his consistency offensively this year was rather poor… his inconsistency was more of a reason he was down the lineup than a stacked team.

I personally think he’s just a year behind. He’s young for the draft year (July birthday iirc) and basically had 3/4 of a year taken away due to covid. You’re simply projecting more with him, but I think he dominates the Dub next year. Should be a 80+ point player there with a good two way game.

Simply put, he looked like a talented -1 player than a draft year player and I think that changes next year.

Shane is Cornell, so the guy who spells his name wrong got him here via scouts keeping an eye on the team. Geisel is in town for DU, so easy guy to bring in. Rowe is an odd one...

Never hurts to get a former US NTDP goalie and see how far they've come. From what I remember of Rowe he generally fits what the Avs look for in goalies now so maybe just taking a shot in the dark for depth later on.

Behrens and Ambrosio the standouts today per the dynamic duo, AJ & Rudo

Not surprising.

After this camp, people will finally come around that he's the best D prospect the Avs had even prior to the deadline.

Ambrosio will flash in this camp big time... dynamic skater with hands.

So good to not give a shit about f***ing development camp.

I do. I wish we would get more info on how it is going.

But I get where you are coming from with that comment.

AJ said yesterday on the pod that Buyalski stood out a lot with his skating once the games started, just blowing past guys. Would be fun to see some game tape of him now.

 

[MonsterMack]

I know it's highly unlikely, I would really like Taylor to amount to anything

I made it to one of the on-ice sessions each day and the scrimmage tonight.

Take all assessments with a massive grain of salt. Hard to make giant conclusions from these limited practice sessions.

Steinburg wasn't on the ice at all. Injured?

Meyers was a man amongst boys for the most part.

Buyalski showed by far the most promise to me from the drafted guys (although he unfortunately didn't play in the scrimmage tonight). He showed way more than just straight-line speed. He dominated the 3-on-3 session they held on Tues. Not sure what injury kept him out last season, but didn't seem to show any lingering effects.

The scrimmage was 4-on-4 for 2 20 min periods (then a shootout). All the draftees and a few invites were in white. Aamodt and Z and the remaining invites were on Burgandy.

Burgandy won 6-0 (although pretty sure refs missed a goal where Ambrosio found Makar backdoor with a pretty pass). Ian Shane has 2-3 highlight saves that kept Burgundy off the scoreboard. The other goalies were terrible.

Cam Wright was the best skater during the scrimmage (at least 2 goals and an assist).

Burgandy won the shootout 3-2. Behrens, Weiss, and Makar all scored for Burgundy.

Thanks a lot for the info. Really appreciate it.
So is the camp over now?

Kind of unfair for team White that team Burgundy got Cale Makar tbh.

Cale should put on Taylor's jersey for one of the scrimmages and just skate circles around everyone and light up the scoreboard. Kinda like when Forsberg pretended he was just another beer league guy.

Cup winning teams usually don't have good prospects and top picks left because giving them up is what it takes to win

Detroit stream their development camp on Youtube. I wish we do too.

That’s because it’s better hockey than their actual NHL games.

Let's hope Taylor can go full Rob Niedermayer and forge a career as a checking line center.

Yeah I hope that too but Rob Niedermayer was the 5th overall pick in 1993

Not sure what you are talking about. Taylor Makar was also the 5th overall in his draft year.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

To be fair, scouting in the 90s is pretty hilarious. Brett Lindros got drafted 9th overall pretty much purely because he was Eric's little brother

Oh yeah we screwed over the islanders big time that year!!!

 

[Markster]

You know the cubbards bare when the majority of the development camp roster are players that aren’t associated with the franchise

No room left in the cubbard after putting the Cup in there!

Wrong thread

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

How did Stienburg look?

What do you avs fans see as his upside? Bottom 6 forward?
