Prospect Info: 2013 Development Camp (July 3rd - July 7th)

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

so is Nygren going to Hamilton for sure? I forget if it was official.

I'm pretty sure Hamilton is official Mark E. Smith.

 

[Whitesnake]

I thought you were answering Team Spirit's question.

I did. But for Western Michigan.

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

I did. But for Western Michigan.

Yeah, i sort of figured that out.

 

[lou]

I went this afternoon.

Tinordi should probably not be at this camp. Basically way too easy for him during the 30 minute scrimmage. Often paired with Nygren and they were in control of the game.

Beaulieu looked good and smooth.

Hudon and Collberg were dangerous. Played together and it was nice to watch.

DLR looks BIG and can really skate for a player that size. Wasn't too noticeable offensively, but his team had few quality forward prospects as Hudon and Collberg were on the other team.

Bozon scored on a horrific goal allowed by Dekort.

Then the lights went out at 5 PM, everyone left the ice in a dark practice facility and I went home figuring that was it for the day.

Guys like Leblanc, McCarron, Fucale, MacMillan, Bennett were not on the ice for the scrimmage, guess their group was in the scrimmage yesterday or will be tomorrow.

Thank for the info wish I could be there myself

Damn power outage...

 

[Knuckles30]

I can't believe how early they're forcing these kids to get up at. lol

I think that's to keep them out of too much trouble at night. More effective than a curfew...

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

I went yesterday and got to see the scrimmage before the power outage - it was pretty fun to see the guys...

My quick thoughts on who stood...

Brady Vail looked really good - poised, skilled, professional - looking forward to his last junior year to see how he does, but I expect good things - he was probably the most impressive prospect in my eyes.

Morgan Ellis was real smooth, nice heads up skater, just a really good feel for the game and a calming presence on defense which is very good.

Stephen MacAulay definitely looked talented and big and able to play with Vail. Had a goal and several other scoring chances. He plays a simple game but is effective at it. He was the most impressive non-drafted guy I would say.

Patrick Holland didn't stand out so much in the scrimmage, but I came away impressed with his character, attitude and approach to the game. Plus he looked good in the drills.

Sven Andrighetto I was really impressed with. He is small, but he plays a pretty solid game. He's got skills. I definitely see him being something of a pleasant surprise this year in Hamilton.

Magnus Nygren threw several big hits - his physical game was impressive, although his positioning on the smaller ice might take some adjustment.

Darren Dietz hit and played a nice physical d-style.

Jarred Tinordi was big. I wish he would play a somewhat simpler game just shortening the ice, but a scrimmage isn't the best place for that.

Nathan Beaulieu oozes skill and he's big. Wish he'd play a simpler game, but we'll see. Probably the most skilled guy out there.

Charles Hudon is small, but he scored on a nice one-timer, and can stir things up.

Jacob De La Rose plays up and down - hits people. He's big.

Tim Bozon - has some skill and decent size - not sure what he'll be but he's a pretty good hockey player.

Other guys that I kind of liked - Collberg was sneaky, although got hit hard, Henley is big and hits, Didier is big and simple - still needs more work, but I could see something there - his size is NHL, Gravel had a nice shot in the skills part, Fournier tried to hit people, Delmas is pretty big and good, Murphy has skills, Shaw kept up for a guy coming out of the bchl

ok, that's about it. There's more but others will give reports too. Cheers!

Thanks for the update Ryan!

Great I love reading his blog. Gives us a behind the seems look of camp

 

[Whitesnake]

And Bennett's shot hits McCarron in the face...McCarron in a lot of pain.

 

[Top Corner2]

And Bennett's shot hits McCarron in the face...McCarron in a lot of pain.

No McCarron put his face there to practice for Lucic....

 

[Wats]

And Bennett's shot hits McCarron in the face...McCarron in a lot of pain.

With our luck this will scare him away from the OHL in favour of the caged helmets.

#Habs Josiah Didier lays out Erik Nystrom, then skates puck up ice, only to in turn be pummeled by Greg Pateryn. #GoHabsGo


Character. Bergevin re-signs pateryn to 4 year deal.

Joking aside it's nice to hear Pateryn is trying to add some physicality to his game. I'm rooting for him.

Pateryn always had physicality to his game.

 

[overlords]

Pateryn always had physicality to his game.

I don't remember him fighting that much, though, did he?

 

[Habssince89]

Pateryn always had physicality to his game.

I meant adding to what he's shown already. I felt he hasn't backed down, but has lacked nastiness. Would you agree, or am I off?

 

[Whitesnake]

Not much fighting in the NCAA so no. And I can't say how he did, if he did, in the AHL. But he's really physical nonetheless.

Well, I would say that he was pretty mean in the NCAA, then came in the AHL and the kid is trying to learn the pro game. So he might have put aside some of his nastiness to perfect other aspects of his art, but he is still a pretty physical d-man.

Great to hear. I really enjoyed his callup last season. I would love to see him become a rock on our bottom pairing in the future.

Any word on Mac after the shot to the face?

Any word on Mac after the shot to the face?

He probably harnessed all that pain and grew another 2 inches. Freak of nature.
