Don't Hold The Door
Love Abramov. I got some flack for putting him at 8 on our prospect rankings. He's gonna have a big year.
Just noticed Sens and Jets play 3 games while Habs play just 2. What kind of tournament is that?probably had already been said, but 3 teams for a tournament is dumb. 6 would be way better
Parker Kelly . I think I am going to like this kid. More than Josh Brook anyway.

Daccord had some great stops tonight.
I'm hoping this kid turns into a long-term version of what we wanted Zack Smith to be. He's got a long way to go, but he has the work ethic to get there.
It doesnt need to have a winner to be a tournament.
Replay Game 2
Smh, that Batherson to Brannstrom exchange and toying of the forechecker for Abramov's first goal reminded me of Stone and Karlsson.
- really nice to see a Sens team dominate physically for a change & these young guys are initiating the hitting & winning board battles.
- really nice to see a Sens team playing a structured game properly, Trent Mann has been really good for the young players & should help develop Ottawa's top prospects who will play for him next season.
- Abramov had a hell of a game & reminded me of Ottawa's Hab killer Pageau. If Pageau is moved, all of the Gatineau fans that came out to see Pageau regularly can look forward to watching Abramov in future.
- Formenton is going to be so much better than people have thought, he will average at least one breakaway per game & if he can gain more wrist & arm strength he is going to score a lot.
- Kastelic already looks like a pro player & the coaching staff seem to already trust him to take key faceoffs like the one he took on the PP that eventually led to Abramov's tip in goal off the Brannstrom shot where Kastelic won the faceoff.
- don't you just love watching the next Battleship Kelly piss off opposing players?
- I thought Nathan Todd looked good & was being used regularly by the coaching staff. Wouldn't surprise me if Belleville finds a way to give him a PTO.
- Joey Daccord looked good yesterday, but I assume he will start the yr in Brampton as Gustavsson & Hogberg both have to start their pro careers.
- Aspirot has had two good games, if Belleville can't use him maybe Brampton could.
- I though Gruden & Davidsson both had better games playing with Norris than they did yesterday when he wasn't in the lineup. Norris looked very good against the Jets especially in the second period where I thought they were the best line during that period.
- Maxence Guennette RD is quietly having a pretty good tournament with three assists in his first game. I don't think anyone would have guessed that & now is added to Ottawa's RD depth.
- Beaudin looks a lot better than I thought he would be, I still consider him to be an AHL player but his good play will only make the overall Belleville team better with a lot more depth.

Had the Habs farm system ranked 6th, the Sens 12th and the Jets 27th.. and yet the Habs prospects couldn't get one win this tournament / showcase
They were missing a lot of prospects though.
who?
The Sens didn't have all their prospects either. Missing Lassie and JBD for sure.. probably others
