After watching this tournament, I guarantee if we drafted Bennett, we would be complaining about how badly we need a player like Draisaitl going forward.

From Memorial Cup to now, he just continues to dominate (and make it look lazy)

And it's not even his point total that impresses me!
He has great hands, is a great skater, hard working at both ends of the ice and seems to have a good hockey iq. I definitely see him as a good late bloomer and hope he continues to improve. Could be very good for us in Bakersfield.

It was pretty funny when Winnipeg was dominating us at the beginning and Gene said something like 'it looks like Winnipeg had their Wheaties for breakfast, and ours too.'

Christoffer's been good.

But he's a 21 year old smaller forward who put up a sub PPG season as an overager in the WHL. This isn't Tyler Johnson we're talking about.

An AHL deal seems entirely appropriate. I mean... we'll see how he does come main camp, but I don't think he's earned himself a spot on our 50 contract limit at this stage. There's no concern that he's gonna get a contract from someone else.

Its going to be a argument for a long time. I really like Drai. Though at the time I wanted Bennet and still think he would fit in better to what we need now.

Both are going to be good, so just be happy they will be debating for decades.

Roy has had a rough tournament. He's made a lot of bad decisions and doesn't seem to have much jump. Door might be closing on him as a prospect

Yeah, I haven't been impressed either.

He's on a minor league deal and will likely play in the ECHL. He has a long way to go that's for sure.

Caleb Jones needs to learn the defensive side though. Lots of issues there for sure. Great at the other end, but that's not enough.

What do you guys think, will Leveille get a contract? I haven't watched enough of this tournament to really judge his performance. The little I've seen I've liked from him though and I liked him in Cape Breton last year.

Based on only these few games I can't see what's he's done to earn one.

Not kidding. LD is everything we need.

So, so many tools
