b.....bb......bbbb..bbbbbbut they were reaches

Which ones?

None of Zboril, Carlo, or O'Gara were reaches whatsoever.

 

[toasterjam]

**** YA nice job there

 

[JCRO]

GOOD

Hayes looks good.
Debrusk looks good
Cave looks good

Zboril makes great hard passes quick and usually ends up on the tape or out harms way. Lost his man in his zone once or twice and would have liked him to tee one up instead of spinning it to mueller but looks good on balance.

Carlo looks good. Pretty steady. Very relaxed under pressure it seems. Good gaps.

Khodobin looks good

BAD
mueller is soft on the puck and very easy to knock over

Czarnik- expect more from a young pro with great ahl numbers

Cehlarik- soft on the puck falls down, brain moves too slow

O gara- I don't care what people are saying here. He looks slow. That's fine, but at his pace he's not special enough to ever be an average bottom pairing guy

UGLY

Heinen- hardly notice him. When I do, he's doing something wrong. No good plays out of him. He handled that pass but needed to get the shot off either quicker or if he was gonna take that time put it upstairs. Can't take that long and throw it 4 inches off the ice.

Hereeeessss Danton!

 

[Gator Mike]

Check out those mitts on the kid.

 

[TP]

There we go!

 

[TwineTickler]

Heinen is making this team

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Great tip Heinen.

 

[pierre gagnon*]

both those guys on the goal should, carlo and heinen got a shot at the team

 

[Bread and Circuses]

I was just making a funny.

O'Gara looks as expected.

Lowest upside of the three but also the closest to being ready for the NHL.

 

[Gator Mike]

It's not just the straight line speed from Carlo that's impressive... it's those first two or three strides from a standing position. Rare to see a big kid with that kind of "0-to-60" acceleration.

 

[toasterjam]

I'm glad we have moved out of the Bartkowski, Trotman type D era

 

[DitClapper]

Griffith is something I'll tell you. And that something is nothing.

 

[DKH]

Kevan Miller

 

[Bread and Circuses]

What was that jimmy???!?!?!

More of that Jimmy.

 

[pierre gagnon*]

nash and randell look slow

 

[toasterjam]

nash and randell look slow

agreed..when it comes down to that 4th line and extra forward, I think I'd just rather go with speed/aggressive forecheckers. Give me Blidh, Acciari over the lumbering, slower 4th liners.

I do like Randell's toughness but he just doesn't look quick enough.

 

[northeastern]

Griffith is something I'll tell you. And that something is nothing.

Yeah I've been disappointed...

 

[Blowfish]

Easier to say not impressed versus impressed with player. So far. Randal Nash Griff Hayes

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Torts will be having his team skating tomorrow for these penalties.

 

[BruinDust]

Is it just me of does Jimmy Hayes look like he's worked on his skating.

 

[DKH]

66 is a pain in the ass

 

[Replicator]

I think Liles might be outclassed with that fight matchup there...

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Is it just me of does Jimmy Hayes look like he's worked on his skating.

I think he looks slow still compared to others. Versus himself perhaps faster.

Slippin' Jimmy
