Offseason Training

[Peace Frog]

Has anyone heard anything about what some of the rookies/prospects have been doing to prepare for the upcoming season?

I’m particularly interested in what Knies has been doing. Usually we hear about a top prospect gaining muscle, or speed, etc… Just wondering if any of our young players have done anything substantial to be more ready to make an impact this season.

For Knies, this is going to be hugely important year. Can he build on the promise he showed in his short stint with us at the end of last year? Man, I sure hope so!

Then you have our dark horse, Robertson, who has a lot of potential, but just can’t manage to stay healthy. If he could, I would be very interested to see what he’s actually capable of.

So anyway, anyone hear any juicy tidbits about these guys?

This stuff usually comes out at training camp.

Ya, few more weeks, bunch of stories about focusing on speed and dynamics, not just strength. Except Kessel, thats just Cups and dogs in the offseason.

Robertson is an interesting question, it's hard to see with the roster as it stands, and the cap problems, but he might just have the skill if healthy to force his way on, might be the most interesting maybe of training camp right now.

Hopefully Matthews comes to camp in better shape this year

Every camp we hear players do the whole "best shape of my life" cliches. Means nothing, but we eat it up because we are so starved for any hockey content at that point. The only one that was different was Kessel when he basically said he was fishing the whole time.
