A bit misleading to say he was 3rd in scoring, since he was tied with 2 other forwards who played less games than him.
So basically he was one of the least productive top 6 forward on the team.
McCarron's skating looks fine to me. Agility needs to work on. But the kid isn't slow by any means. He has good speed once his first steps are passed, which he will have to work on. But again, nice powerful skater. Good strides. You will be impressed if you think he's below average 'cause he is most absolutely not.
The players don't actually get into fights at the dev camp, do they??
Not unless PK Subban is attending

This thread is like an oasis of calm and peace compared to the frothing madness going on in other places.
Hopefully McCarron is okay after getting the puck in the face.
Well I guess nobody was there yesterday while Martin Lapointe led the team in the face deflection/character drills.
I was there two days ago and saw the scrimmage until the power went out (just as we signed Briere....coincidence?)
Duffy - I really like this kid & I'm glad we signed him. He works the boards really well and is able to wiggle to the front of the net after protecting the puck down low. I didn't see anything flashy but he was always on the puck and had really good instincts. reminds me of Ben Maxwell back when we used to like him....but he is a bit more desperate. I like this signing a lot.
MacAulay - Big kid knows how to play hockey and use his body. Plays a simple effective game. Had instant chemistry with Vail who also plays a great straightforward game. Doesn't seem overly physical or mean, but goes to the front of the net. Good signing...should be good depth in Hamilton.
Reway - Holy small Batman. This kid makes Colberg look like a giant. Really. Still he get's in there and battles. He often has the puck and his line is often generating chances.....I see why they picked him. Obviously nice hands & smooth skater...plays a more up and down game than I was expecting....
Hudon - Get excited....I love this kid! The next Danny Briere? I think so....very similar game.
more later!

Thanks for the report, but we didn't sign Duffy, or MacAuley.
Don't say that to this board. They'll say he sucks and is useless due to his size
I think you guys are right...there was a report awhile back that we had signed them....but I'm not sure if it was correct:

Prime Briere didn't suck, only 35 year old washed up Briere.
