GDT: Inter-squad scrimmage

[Sam Spade]

Lots to be excited about. Thanks for the post. The big Russian healthy and ready to play sounds great.

If he stays healthy I will be shocked if he doesn’t get some games this season.

Just so much confidence and seems like a born leader. He was directing play every shift. I’ve been to a ton of these camp things and I’ve never seen a kid take charge like he did today.

He also knew all the guys names, which for some reason really impressed me when he was calling out directions. I was sitting right above him in the D zone so I got to hear it all.

Yes, he has talent but I was also impressed with his attitude, communication, and how interacted with the everyone on the ice. It's one of those intangibles that's so important and often overlooked.

Are you guys saying Johansen has been leapfrogged by two guys drafted two years later and lower to boot?

He has Bust written all over him

Without a doubt, AA & MF are ahead of LuJo.

Both will be full-timers in the next two years, IMO.

AA will need time to adjust to the NHL/pro player sizes, while MF will have the upper hand in the regard, having played against grown men for two years.

I personally wouldn’t move either AA or MF.

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

I just don’t see LuJo or Hobbs having futures in Washington. I can see both being moved this year for young forwards.

I personally wouldn’t say bust, but, I don’t see him having nearly as high of a ceiling as either AA or MF.

The best news is reading this report and knowing Hershey is going to be really fun to watch this year. Get some supplemental scorers and dominate

Dude if I could afford it I would get season tickets.

Maybe a Connor Carrick type who gets some games but bounces around.

Important season for him.

 

[Raikkonen]

So that AA guy can lead Orlov to be ok one day?

AA-Orlov(RD) pair E5

I'm rooting for Axel and Alex hard. I suppose February now too.

LuJo gave me bad vibes even in his interviews. Kinda standoffish or something.

2 bad passes? Missed or turnovers?

Tried to be fancy instead of safe.
