Pretty quiet game from Philp. Only thing I really caught was him coming into the zone and trying a wrister through a defender, that gets blocked, and we lose possession. He's gotta hold onto that puck, we don't throw low percentage stuff like that. Drive low, hold it, create a possession for your 4th line shift.

I'm not sure that is attributable to pro scouting, apparently we acquired Podz on the basis of our head amateur scout really liking him and I would presume Knob had the biggest say with regards to Emberson having coached him in the AHL.

The pickups I'd attribute to our pro scouts are J. Brown, J. Skinner, and Arvidsson.

Which is pretty underwhelming like usual.

Josh Brown is almost completely useless back there especially if he doesn’t know how to execute his role without taking dumb penalties.

Arvidsson comes as advertised. Hyman lite with a bit more speed and puck handling ability, but comes at the cost of size and durability. Overall he’ll be fine, he’ll have the odd transcendent game but most will be just good possession numbers.

Which brings us to Jeff Skinner which is an absolute enigma to me. When the signing occurred I thought he could be a great trigger man for Draisaitl or McDavid, but clearly that’s not on the cards. He’s in a checking role which he predictably isn’t proficient at. So my honest opinion is if we’re not willing to give him a 5-10 game run on the top 6, then just get the contract off the books. Open up his cap room for use at the TDL.
