Dominant game, at least on the scoresheet. Kinkaid was very solid.
Re: top prospects.
1. Barron - had a fine game. Nothing super special. So damn big and hard to deal with at this level in the corners.
2. Jones - one of the most noticeable games that I've seen from him this year. Really engaged offensively. I thought he was really strong in a good way.
3. Schneider - not his best game. He's prone to making some mistakes out there. I think he needs some time to cook.
4. Robertson - he's just big and seems pretty steady already at this early stage of his pro career. Made a few nifty 5ft passes to help start the breakout. He's pretty efficient and def plays within himself. I feel like his game is translating well to this level.
5. Pujaniemi -- I wish he had just a little more strength and speed. Even at this level is not finding the time and space to get his shot off. But I like his tenacity and his intelligence out there. Drew a penalty. Just a good player. I think, if he can work on skating and strength he can play in the NHL. But because it's not nec there right now, I don't see him getting into NHL action this season barring many injuries with NYR.
6. Reunanen - I mean, I am not seeing him run around as much in his own zone and his transition game is pretty darn solid. He's always noticeable out there at this level. I think he's been more noticeable than Jones in many games, but today, Jones looked just as noticeable if not more. But I do like Reunanen at this level.
7. Skinner - He just needs time to cook. He looked decent today. He's interesting, but he's a longer cook time guy.
