DEFENSEMEN
1. Thomas Chabot: Much much improved defensively and still mesmerizing offensively. The one bright spot (along with Lajoie and Jaros) on the blueline so far. He will come out of the season as a legitimate young NHL superstar.
2. Chris Wideman: Looked like the same Wids to me. A great 3rd pairing PP specialist the will struggle and at times be over-matched if you expect more out of him.
3. Erik Burgdoerfer: Best game he played dating back to last season in Belleville. A smart, steady presence on the backend at both ends of the ice tonight.
4. Dylan Demelo: Not sold. Through 2 games, speed (both skating and decision making) look like a concern.
5. Ben Harpur: Still more size and after the whistle gimmicks than actual hockey talent.
6. Andreas Englund: Even if you love character, at some point you just have to recognize when there are no NHL skills. This is one of those cases. Guy struggles to complete a simple pass.
GOALIES
1. Mike Condon: I was never sold on this guy as a legitimate NHL backup. Saw nothing new tonight.
2. Filip Gustavsson: First taste of NHL hockey for him and it showed.
