Love the size. And a lot of those guys skate well.

My confidence in Snuggy has increased with him going into beast mode and taking absolute charge of that team. THIS is what I wanted to see.

Yes! Snuggerud looks much hungrier than he has at any point since the WJC last season.

Tomas Mrsic - 43 GP 29 G 39 A 68 Pts

18 years old - is he legit?

It just seems like he always has time and space to shoot. What happens as he progresses to the next level? Can he continue without time and space?

The Thunderbirds did a nice compilation video of Dali at the AHL All Star Skills Challenge:

Reminded me of Tarasenko on that shootout attempt (1:54).

Rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated

I have to say, for a guy who gets dinged a lot for skating. He looked pretty good here. Another point that I make all the time speed means very little if you can't control the puck with speed. Good to see him flying and handling the puck at top speed.

Thanks! What about Lukas Fischer? He seems to be progressing too. Where do you see his projection?

Everything is coming together nicely for Fischer the last few months after that late start due to injury recovery. If you recall, I was a big fan of his prior to the draft last year. It's easy to forget that he's only a few days from being first time eligible this year. The defensive game has become more consistent. The physical game has become more consistent. He's being more aggressive offensively. The shot has become a huge weapon for him. He's got a really heavy one timer from the right side and he's letting it rip. I believe that there is a good chance that he's one of the best defenders in the OHL next season.

If he ever skated at top speed, then he probably wouldn’t have got dinged for it. Lately, he has picked up his pace and not just a little. It is noticeable. He did a lot of coasting and slowing play down which doesn’t work in his favor.
