The thing with Hayes is having a skilled center man with lots of size. It's a real asset. Whenever he can take a center spot and contribute offense we'll be a lot better off for it. Even if he can fit in like Sean Couturier does with the Flyers that's very helpful too.
Lindberg is probably the most rounded of all our young centers. I like Oscar a lot but I think he's a long shot to make the team out of training camp. Miller has both size and grit and can move to the wing. He's also the youngest of the three and the most experienced.
Truthfully I'd like all of them to make it--there's just not enough room. To me Miller and Hayes have the best chances of all the prospect forwards to make the team out of training camp.

I agree with this. I think it's Miller's roster spot to lose at this point. As for Hayes, he has a lot more to prove during training camp to try and crack one of those last open roster spots.
AV also mentioned Talbot and Kreider not starting with the team last yr but they were important.
I expect Hayes to start in the AHL and get called up if he tears it up
Miller should make it. Nice comments about Danny Monte Kristo, he's gonna get a look and hes older so I don't mind him making the team even if its 4th line

Kristo as a 4th liner?--I don't know. You'd want some grit there. You'd definitely want guys who can play in the defensive end of the ice. I would anyway. For a 4th line wing spot between him and someone like Jesper Fast--I'd definitely give Fast the edge. About the same size but Fast is smart with the puck, will take the body and can penalty kill.

RIP, Jimmy.
This is good news. Most of them may not start in the NHL but will make it up at some point. It gives us options during the season and will allow some trades to be made later on.
The amount of depth we have is actually very exciting. I don't know that this team can repeat last years performance however, they certainly have the ability to. We will be a successful team this season. Exactly how successful depends a fair amount on whether MSL falls off the cliff this year.
Yeah you can't miss this one.
Today's fight...McIlrath vs Malone, winner makes the team
To be honest, I was under the impression that after the first month and a half, that is the main thing Kristo worked on.
Defensive responsibility, controlling offensive recklessness.
To me, I don't even think AV's main point of praising the players he mentioned was their actual conditioning - it was the process they took this summer to stand out (i.e. their preparation, commitment to the team, maturation).
In that sense, hearing both Miller and Kristo is extremely significant.
And I think we all already know that offensively, Kristo had the talent to crack the roster. His work ethic and commitment to learning defense was what prohibited him. And now, he's one step closer.
I don't think he makes the team out of camp, but I do think Stempniak is one poor 3 week stretch away from losing his spot to the younger and more inexperienced Kristo.

Is deep in the corner really the best place they can find to put a camera? I know beggars can't be choosers...but... really?

I think it was the same last year. Probably not a lot of good spots to place it.

You're lucky, 5 minutes ago all you could see was the ceiling of the practice facility.

Haha good to know. I'm wayyy out of town in a very different time zone, so I'm a little out of it NY-time-wise.
