Development Camp 2022 (July 10th-13th)

[03HockeyFan]

I like this #32 as future 4th line hitting machine.

#32 - Chisholm has barely played any hockey in three seasons! Has a fair bit of upside — it’s tough to find guys his size that can skate and play the game. At 6’5” and 218 he still has room to fill in.

 

[Bee Holder]

Stand-outs for me:
- Hutson (How the hell did he drop to the 2nd round, not to mention late in the 2nd?!)
- Mesar
- Heinemann
- Farrel
- Slaf
- Kapanen/Smilanic (To a lesser degree)

HM to Beck and Engstrom

EDIT: Totally forgot but shout out to Dobes and whoever was the other tender, they were solid!

 

[Natey]

Watched the full game...

My top 5 not including goalies

1. Hutson
2. Mesar
3. Farrell
4. Nurmi
5. Heineman

Slafkovsky would be next, followed by Beck and Engstrom. Followed by Smilanic and Kapanen to round out the top 10.

Also would not be against signing Crisholm. Skates smooth for his size.

 

[Hins77]

I have just watch the last scrimming. Few notes. ( I watched it on my cellphone, last name were too small, so I noticed number and after the game I knew who they were), :
-#90. Sean Farrell has clearly nhl top 6 upside. This guy know how protect the pu k, he his small, but he seems to have a low gravity centre. It helps him a lot. Really quick hands. Playmaker. The best forward clearly at the camp. Josh roy is no close

#85. Lane Hutson. How we been able to got him at 62?? He is our next sam girard. I would bet on it. He is not mete. This guy is able to dangle with the puck. Has an offensif flair and make everytime the right play.

#53 :mmiguel tourigny : he is a good offensive dman. He knows what to do qith the puck. I appreciated what I saw. But Hutson is better

Heineman : fair to say he is probably a futur 3rd line winger.

#60. Slafkovsky : little upset. I thought I was going to see the next Jagr. He needs to work on a lot of things…. He has the size, the speed. But needs to be better on puck battle. Protecting it.. he lost maybe 3 1vs1 dangle, he could be our next Brady Tkachuk, time will tell. He has nhl upside

Because he's a Smoll King.

 

[Sam I Am]

Hutson, Farrel and Mesar are stealing the show.

Kapanen, Nurmi Enqvist/vall/strom and Nurmi are very smooth. Like them a lot.

Roy, Slaf and Tuch doing mostly nothing out there.

Pretty much the way I saw it too. Hutson is more like Patrick Kane than any other player I can think of. What edgework and hands! Dazzling.

Farrell's speed stands out in a game full of speedsters. Mesar not far behind.

Of the big boys, it seems like Heineman, and Similac are worth following. Slaf and Kapannen were less impactful. Roy was invisible.

And Peter Nurmi looks very poised. Smart player.

 

[badfish]

It's premature but I am feeling really good that I was pumping Hutson for months. I'm not a big scouting/prospect guy but I watched some of his hockey back in January and knew he was extremely talented and had a feeling he would be underappreciated because of his size.

 

[GalHabsGal]

Hutson baby, was my pick at 26, but we got it at 62, yesssss sir!

Heineman seems close to NHL...

Farrell IQ and skill are amazing!

 

[Beer and Chips]

Any chance Heineman could replace Anderson?

Lane needs to attend the Marty St Louis School For Kids Who Cant Squat Good

 

[Goldenhands]

Really loved Engstrom and Hutson on the back end. Alot of talent up front as well, future is bright.

He looks like the guys in the chess club would be getting HIS lunch money,

 

[WeThreeKings]

Croteau was actually pretty good on the goalie side of things.

Also really noticed Kidney's hands and IQ in a few spots.

I wouldn't panic on Roy, he knows this isn't his spot to shine.

 

[Hins77]

Heineman has the ceilling to be a 3rd line winger around 15/20 pts/ season. Anderson is a top 6 forward with bigger size, can llay on top 6. This is not the same kind of player imo

If you're upset now, prepare for disappointment. This is what Slaf is. He's one-dimensional and doesn't drive play. I don't understand the Jagr comparables at all. Slaf will be a complimentary piece on a line with high hockey IQ guys.

Toss a little Shake & Bake on them...

Slaf is a gamer I don't expect him to go 100% against friends in scrimmage

Why were HuGo so keen on him if his ceiling is third line?

 

[Sagikev]

Heinemann has middle 6 potential. Not a true 1st line guy, but he could work on a 2nd line. He does have the speed, shot and size to be a good producer. We'll see how he does though, he's still young

Croteau was solid, true. I also like Dichow. Anyway, these scrimmages aren't ideal for showcasing goalies, but still.

Nope, especially after a long lay-off. Goalies take the longest to get into form.

The puck between the leg dangle won’t work in the NHL. However, zero worries about his puck protection and board battles. He’s a puck possession machine along the boards and rarely loses the puck.

I have never believed Jagr comparison. Cause if the was the case, he would have been the consensus choice at 1st. Imo we got a player that will have the same kind of Impact than a guy like Brady Tkachuk.
