The roster's kinda stacked right now and the team looks pretty good offensively. If I was closer to Abbotsford, it'd be worth picking up tickets to watch in person.

- Aman hilariously looks like a superstar 1C. Wonder why he can't transfer any of this to the NHL
- All the forwards you'd expect look great, except Bains who isn't doing anything and looks invisible. Wonder what happened to him
- Raty really jumped off the page in this game and looked dominant too on both sides of the puck
- Not seeing the Blais others are seeing. Looks like a decent 3rd line AHL winger. Not any kind of super physical, high flying menace. PDG >> Blais on an NHL 4th line
- Pettersson looks very much like a steady top pairing AHL D who controls the game
- Liked Mukhamadullin on the other side, looks pretty close to NHL ready. JT Miller for Mukh to close the trade tree loop :sarcasm:
- Nice game for Lekk with 1g 2a. Not visibly dominant like Aman but doing his thing. Needs some time down here to develop.
- Missed the 4th SJ goal but Silovs bailed out ABB in the 3rd. Woulda lost without his big saves
 
Thought Bains did some good work on the winning goal. Banged someone off the puck and that allowed Raty to make a nice pass to the wide open Lekkermaki. That late game shift by those three was excellent. Bains got the 3rd star for whatever that's worth.

Aman is, and has been, the best player on this team for a long while. He is a better player than Sasson but Sasson needs a look.

Neilsen is a bit of an unsong hero. Contributes every game in all parts of the ice.

Klimovich has drifted into ether the last while.

Pettersson and Lekkermaki are emerging, I think, as clearly the best prospects.

Mueller in, Stevens out, which, to me, is an upgrade.

Far as San Jose goes they are near a one man team. Everything runs through AHL lifer Poturalski. Like Bystedt but not even sure he's living up to expectations. He did nothing in this game.

You hope Aman doesn't end up someone like Poturalski.
 
It's 'feast or famine' in Abbotsford. A six-game losing streak, now followed by a six-game winning streak. Aman is dominating at this level right now.

Kind of surprised they didn't lose him on waivers when he was sent down--but I guess most teams in the NHL have a forward or two just like him in their organizations.

Lekkerimaki voted the first star of the game with a goal and two helpers....and Karlsson is on fire right now. He really does have a gift and a net-front presence to get to tips and rebounds. Looks like Jake Debrusk, scoring most of his goals from right around the blue paint.

It's unfortunate that his skating is holding him back. If he gained that half-step he needs, he might be of help at the NHL-level.
