whats the opinion on Matt Donovan? Is he going to make the team out of camp or start in Bridgeport? Is he ahead of DeHaan in terms of depth on D?
The roster of the Rookie Camp:
http://www.lighthousehockey.com/201...nders-2013-rookie-camp-roster-many-defensemen
Mayfield and Reinhart seemed to have grown an inch to 6'5 and they weigh 205-206.
Strome at 6'1 188, Nelson at 6'4 200, Donovan at 6'1 198, CDH at 6'1 187.
Yeesh, CDH still can't get to 190 lbs with pads on, at the age of 22? Pair that with his fragility (not that the two are mutually exclusive) and I'm concerned about projecting an NHL future.
Aaron Ness might be 5'10" 180 lbs with his full uniform on, in skates and standing on a phone book.
If Anders Nilsson 227 lbs is accurate.... that's wonderful news. He dropped a lot last year, going through the illness.
Pulock listed at 214 as an 18 year old. Kid is a tank. He's the 2nd heaviest defenceman in camp behind Dalhuisen. Weighs more than Ledoc, Pelech, Mayfield, Pedan, and Reinhart, all of whom are older. He's a man-child. Get excited about him.

Pulock's upper body is jacked, kind of like a young Scott Stevens.looked like most of pulocks weight is in his legs, those things are telephone poles.
excited by the future d possibility. not as much as this years iteration, to be honest.

Hockey players are usually not greatly developed in upper body but it may come naturally to him.
I want Pulock to work on his defense (has only been playing D for a couple of years) & skating, I also wanna see him score 65-75 points, make the Canadian WJHC team, and then I would deem that a successful season. IF he does that, and has a great camp next year, I think he would be ready as a 20 year old NHL'er, since he already has an NHL body.

My upper body is jacked up but I hate to say that is the only way to keep it from sagging.
Getting back to Pulock he'lll miss some time away from Brandon, at the World Junior, still should be around a point a game. Since he can turn pro next year and Brandon is not a contender, he could get traded after the tournament. Would like to see him on a team that can have a long play-off run.

those are the 5 that stood out to me as well
awesome if they are accurate.
Pelech also grew an inch if im not mistaking...from 6'2 to 6'3
Also for some reason I thought Pedan was a bit Taller... No worries we got some nice size coming in the not so distant future....
Pulock is 6'1 but hes built like a freaking tank.I cant believe he is only 18, I need to see his birth certificate...
Last night, listened to the rookie game Edmonton angainst Calgary then a WHL pre season Regina, Prince Albert even though Kyle Burroughs is at Islander camp. Looks like most of the junior players will sent back once the regular camp begins, except Griff and Pulock who should get extended looks. Most of the other young D still need to add strength but Pulock has the NHL body arleady.
Ahem... Edmonton Oil Kings yo?!?
If he could get traded to Edmonton and get paired up with Reinhart, I'd crap my pants. They could move up to the AHL together as a pairing which would eventually lead to an NHL ready pairing in 2 years. They're both lauded for their hockey intelligence so their chemistry would be a boon for the Isles. BAM! Plug and play.
The Isles are never that lucky so you know it won't happen.
Brendan Kichton is putting on a clinic tonight in the Jets/Sharks game. 2 G and an assist on Mitchell Theoret's goal as well. If you can, watch the archived game tomorrow on the Jets website.
who cares? hes gone. would have been nice if we could have signed him but hes no longer apart of this franchise...Does not do any good too talk about the Kichtons,Ninos,and spurgeons...
