White is killing them. hahaha < more vets on Red. White has the prospect motivation

Soberblom..... Pulled for the guy, but he hasn't developed the skating, balance and stick handling to play in the NHL.

Kane's hands were on full display in that shoot out goal.

As others are saying Edvinsson looked really good. The weight gain seems to have increased more explosion into his already great skating. I thought his change of direction was a touch better. He also has kept the crazy patience but he absorbs contact better so he is going to hold the puck more.
At some point next season we are going to see Edvinsson - Seider

A roster aiming for a 1OA maybe. Cossa looked good but no one else you mentioned stood out.
I think the others are 1-2 seasons away.

Soderblom could be on the roster this year if he didn’t play such a soft game. Such a shame that a guy with that size seems afraid of contact.

The actual pre-season games will give us a way better idea of which one of the younger prospects are ready to graduate.

I am not familiar with other teams players . Only remember Tarasenko from juniors. I could see a lot of similarities him and Kane. Kane just bit higher level. .Glad we got both of them.

Definitely hard to evaluate when it’s wings vs wings and someone doing good means someone else did bad. But, trying to focus on the prospects:

Mazur confirmed my biases. Stud.

Noticed Lombardi a lot in the 5 v 5 portion in a good way.

Kasper caught my attention with his straight line speed a couple times.

I caught a few minutes of the game, today, and there was a lot of talk about 11-7 with 3 goalies. Why? Just waive Husso down to the AHL. Need to stop holding the roster hostage with the 3 goalies. No one is going to claim Husso, and if they do Detroit clears a lot of cap. It's a win-win. Husso is a free 3rd goalie for you guys. But his time as a 1/2 for Detroit is over.

Could be someone is doing well but another player was spectacular. Hey, it's training camp. If we can't see the cup half full now, it'll be a long season.

It would only make sense if Fester is willing to let both of them play 30 minutes/game. I think they can handle it, but coaches don't like to rely that heavily on young defensemen.

Nobody of NHL defencemen plays 30min nowadays. 25-26min is the ultimate high. Game is so much faster versus old days.

No NHL player has averaged 30 minutes for a full season since they started tracking TOI in the '97-'98 season. 32 defensemen have averaged more than 27 for a full season since the '97-'98 season. 6 of those were Lidstrom.

I just heard Lalonde was saying he's going to try Seider and Simon together. I hope he will be patient with mistakes Edvinsson has. They should of let him play more games last season

It also takes pressure off if he has help on his pairing.
Then it wouldn't help the team at all when they're not on the ice. And Seider would still be on the ice in all the toughest situations. If Edvinsson can handle some of the tough shifts with a non-Seider partner, then Seider will benefit from some easier ice-time overall, including PP1 time hopefully.
