But are you suggesting these players should all be playing at their ceiling? Like right now?Yes and no. This is not the place to evaluate our A-prospect.
This is the games to evaluate B and C prospect individually.
But we do overrate our prospect big time.
It's like it's always the ceiling that's taking into account and they all going to reached it.
Yet, this organization doesn't have a strong track record of developing their players to help them reach their ceiling.
exactly. And, I'm not one to complain but...Zzzz
Yesis it still 2-1 for them after 2 ?
Fairbrother is definitely the big standout for me since the rookie camp, looks better than Brook right now while being 3 yrs younger...
Evans had a solid rookie season last year. 45 points on a team that couldn’t score.
He looks pretty good out there. Hillis is another guy that I've been impressed with. Outside of Poehling and Suzuki, those two have been the best forwards so far this game.Evans had a solid rookie season last year. 45 points on a team that couldn’t score.
That's good. At the same time, there's no chemistry on the ice so there's much more space. But kudos for making it to the net from his blue-line.
ooof. Suzuki looks fine thnkfully. That could have been bad.

I know it is hard to watch but Kotkaniemi was also awful during the rookie tournament but he was a standout with the main camp. I would not draw any conclusion with these scrimmages yet.McShane looking bad. No energy. Frankly, as great as this pool is, clearly, the best is away 'cause there are so many I wouldn't invite to the main camp. Brook doesn'T deserve an invitation at all. Fleury does much more than him. It's Primeau, Poehling, Suzuki and Fleury. That's it. Not sure what the big fuss is all about as far as Leskinen is concerned.
Perhaps we overate our prospects a tad?
On one hand, I agree. On the other, I certainly wouldn't be watching if they weren't playing. You are right though. It's a risk with little to no reward for the organization.If I were in charge they wouldn't be playing in these kinds of tournaments. Just don't see the upside vs injury risk right before the season starts. Granted anyone can get hurt at any time but I would rather see them just practice and not play these games.
I really like Evans , will either get a role on the 4th line this year or first call-up.
You are right, decent prospect pool wont show for at least another seasonBoring game, not much going on offensively...
Fleury looking like the most NHL ready of the bunch, followed by Poehling but Poehling will have to do much more to earn a roster spot... Suzuki has been ok, still needs to do more as well...
Thats possibly going to be a long season, future is bright but its not going to show yet...
