Vlad - MacLean said he has been conditioning and
attending skating(speed) training already this offseason.
When he got to Cbus he was out of shape... seemed to get gassed in half a shift,
by the end of his time, say the last 10 games he was playing harder, and was more of a force.. some pretty sweet passes.
Has not shown the nasty streak he is known for yet in Cbus..
If Olesz falls to us we have to take him, guys like him are top 5 picks for a reason, they play with skill, have size and grit. Columbus is a soft team, Sveets, and Olesz can change that. Adding Olesz to our top two lines will not hurt us, if Barker is gone as projected.
