If I recall right, Allen was one of the tops in the '23 pre draft physical testing. Didn't his stock drop because of injury concern? Can't remember

He was a projected top pick going into his draft year then just had a bad year. IIRC he said he was trying to do too much on a bad team and his play dropped off.
I think he and Lemay are the two closest to Hutson here.
Building a fort around the net now.
Aww, but they ran out of time in the session before they could play in it.

He definitely stood out. I took some videos of him running through drills but I’ll have to upload them later when I get home.
Even hockey players like to stay to watch the Zamboni.

When we drafted him he looked so mad. Thought right away he had dawg in him.

We moved an NHL player in order to get him, that should tell him what the Capitals think of him and how much they wanted him.

Reviewing the U18 gold medal game, Hutson was the only player on the US with multiple points as they built a 3-2 lead. Then f**kface Trevor Connelly gets 5 minutes and an ejection for a hit to the head, Canada scores 3 to go up 5-3, then Huston scores to cut it to 5-4, . McKenna (who beat out Parascak for WHL ROY with 9 less g, 8 less p) had a hat trick. Kempf in net.

My guess Hutson was pissed he had to go back to the draft day 2. 8:30am Vegas time and put on a suit again after not being drafted the night before.
I dont think hes mad at the Caps

Day 1 of the draft was his birthday, he was surely pissed
I think they also commented on ESPN coverage he was a no nonsense kind of guy, not a ton of emotion. Might just be his disposition.

Forwards are out now. Cristall and Leonard leading the way as expected. Protas really impressed me considering his size/age. Paraschek I thought struggled at times but was very intense and seemed to be taking the drill really seriously.
The shooting at the end really isn’t the point of the drill, but man it feels like Leonard and Cristall score or ring it off the iron every time.
I’m definitely reading too much into this, but man does Leonard just look like a leader.
And again, Leonard front and center. He’s first in line for every drill too.
Session’s over and it’s just a free skate now. Leonard and Chesley are doing the Ovie/Backstrom one-timer drill.
Beaupit’s in net at one end and the guys are doing sort of a rotating shooter’s gallery where you keep shooting til Beaupit ices the puck or it goes in the corner. Chesley sniped two in a row, as did Protas, who went top right corner then top left corner.

I gained a new fave non-Lenny prospect: Muggli.
1. Name factor off the charts
B. 17yo at the time of this writing.
∞ - Poise - he, Chesley, and Hutson made few 'mistakes' in the drills, which means SFA, but when they made mistakes, they were calm. Other kids would freak and start skating harder, but maybe not smarter. That trio seemed calm. Does that lead to any conclusions? Certainly - they will all be elite players, guaranteed. All-Star at least.
Mostly just nice to be at the rink.

Ilya Protas selected third overall in the CHL Import Draft to Windsor/OHL.

these drills are crazy im glad Sammi posting them
Sammi reporting that Leonard is still headed back to BC. Said the Caps offered him a contract after their regular season last year and he spoke about it with his family but decided he wanted one more year at BC. Doesn’t sound like he’ll be changing his mind but would be a great add to the team during the playoffs if they make it. Could look at him as a TDL acquisition. Also mentioned that Leonard talks regularly with Wilson.
Also, Baby Pro looks like he’s headed to the OHL this year.

Listened to a bit of the Leonard interview and he’s a good kid. Wants to go back to BC to help bring a national championship back to the school and wants to be the Captain for Team USA at the WJC. Nothing worrisome about his decision, I don’t think.

Gotta think he's got an eye on the Hobey too.
They'd 100% make room if he wanted to sign.

Hopefully this quells the concerns of some of our more anxiety riddled posters. I can't stomach more "Oh no, Ryan doesn't like us!!" nonsense.

Petr Sikora was selected by Acadie Bathurst, Keller's old team.
I'd read somewhere he was likely to come over this year. Hopefully that's the plan.
Leonard’s plan, according to him, was always to do two years. Sounds like the dude is just really enjoying living in the moment and you can’t fault him for that.

At least it’s a reason to watch hockey I wouldn’t typically….and it WAS enjoyable to follow last year. See him in DC in April….hopefully.Still no problem with Leonard going back. Look forward to watching some BC games in the fall. Hagens also joining the BC squad who atm looks like the #1 pick in 2025. And of course Stiga.
