On a 4th line, those two are great energy wingers token the puck int he O-zone as long as possible and wear out opponents, but that doesn't seem to maximize the actual skill set for either player.Optically I didn't want them on a line together obviously because of their size
But they've been half decent together, commentators mentioned how tough they are to play against, MSL apparently agreed
But with a 3C like Beck it unlocks a lot for them, but he won't be there this year so we'll have to see what they do For that duo
He done good near the end draft wise. I was a borderline MB supporter myselfWho drafted Roy, Kidney, Guhle, Harris, Caufield, Farrell, Mailloux..... ?
I only saw Suzuki once so far and he seemed to generate a lot of speed with minimum effort. Deceptively very fast from what I saw. It seems like he’s really turned that into a strength. Ice in his veins. Wouldn’t surprise me if he starts to assert himself as one of the better captains in the league. He learned from the bestHis skating does look better. I don't think there is any doubt about it. I wonder if he worked along side RHP who admitted he was working on power skating over the summer? They were involved in that Sisu 3 on 3 together so who knows.
Try to convert them to forwards. If it doesn’t work out, then trade em.I think it's the youngest training camp I've seen in my entire life. We really start to see the upside of the prospects right now. What will we do with all those dmen prospects?
I kinea love the spirit of this team. Suzuki is doing things the right way. These little decisions ensure the locker-room doesn’t fall into disrepair and alienation.They have an out-of-town team retreat planned before their last pre-season game, guessing the roster will be finalized before that.
Davidson.........has had one heck of a start to camp!!
Hope he gets some chances against other NHL squads in preseason.
Can we have a kid like this just jump into the lineup?? Laval more than likely, but stay tuned guys.
Big week ahead with 4 games.
Then we should have massive cut then last week of training camp with pretty much a complete NHL roster and then season begins.
Intrateam scrimmage was nice and all but now we are going another step. We will see who thrive.
Well, IMO Slaf is not a guarantee to have a spot so far, and I wouldn't be surprised if they give a shot to Trudeau instead of Lindstrom. Pearson is another one who could fall.It still hard for me to see any more than 1 forward (like Roy or Heineman) and just maybe one of Mailloux, Reinbacher, Trudeau, or Struble stealing a spot.
Right now we already have 24 NHLers plus Wideman and Dvo injured. So we already have to cut one NHLer.
But maybe injuries open up other spots.

I could see Slaf being sent down. But I still consider it unlikely after last year.Well, IMO Slaf is not a guarantee to have a spot so far, and I wouldn't be surprised if they give a shot to Trudeau instead of Lindstrom. Pearson is another one who could fall.

Yeah, well he may change his mind if things go bad (I honestly hope not). The thing is, if there were no names or numbers on the back of the shirts in the 3 days of scrimmage, I would have dismissed this player as much as Parker Jones based solely on performance.Slaf has a spot.
When MSL says he is not likely to go to the AHL it’s because he won’t!
He had a great 3rd game scrimmage. He improved through the 3 games. His first match play situation since around january.Yeah, well he may change his mind if things go bad (I honestly hope not). The thing is, if there were no names or numbers on the back of the shirts in the 3 days of scrimmage, I would have dismissed this player as much as Parker Jones based solely on performance.
100%nothing ruins an origninal 6 jersey like a corporate sponsor, so gross.
I know he’s probably not playing since he has yesterday, but i hope Dach is alright i kinda thought he was holding back but his skating looked sluggish near the end of the game yesterday.The physical players who were holding back during the scrimmages should be able to play to their strengths during these pre-season games.
I hope Davidson will get a few games as he loves to get his nose dirty.
Thanks. What I anticipated, just wanted to make sure.It will be on TV for sure, if you're in the US and don't have RDS just gotta be resourceful.
I don't think Evans or Armia are all that safe if their play does not merit a roster spot. Slaf and RHP as well because of waiver exemptions. Gallagher as well, although he's a Hab legend and has an A so he'd have to be soundly defeated in a roster battle.It still hard for me to see any more than 1 forward (like Roy or Heineman) and just maybe one of Mailloux, Reinbacher, Trudeau, or Struble stealing a spot.

Unless they put a vet on waives (Gallagher, Armia, Pearson) effectively doubt we see Heineman or Roy start NHL.It still hard for me to see any more than 1 forward (like Roy or Heineman) and just maybe one of Mailloux, Reinbacher, Trudeau, or Struble stealing a spot.
