I'm not until he lets in his first goal in the regular season, then he's a sieve.

I would do the first two games for guys on the bubble + rookies then the last game for the vets. All these guys are in peak condition and the season lasts forever. Pitter patter.
Personally I don’t mind the length of camp. I’d really prefer though not to have to dish out the money on preseason games as part of the ST package. That part is annoying.

Its not that I mind the camp as much as I would like hockey to finish by about June 10th. The All start party and training camp seem like the easiest way to claw back time since they aren't really NHL hockey. I get that I am probably alone in wanting to kill the fluff and streamline the preseason scrimmages.

I wouldn't cut the TC as much as you would. I could see compressing it a bit. Also start it a week or 2 earlier. Right after labour day would be good.
The all-star game is a complete waste, totally and utterly. Please stop it. Season AND playoffs should be over by about May 10. If we are golfing in Manitoba it is too late for hockey.

They actually make a lot of money off the All Star game believe it or not.
The issue is you actually don't get much in the way of schemes because there are far too many players in it until near the end. Pp and pk isn't even usually touched until right near the end.

That's a good point
We probably should have sequestered our special teams elsewhere and had them work on them 24/7

I only got to watch the 5 minute highlight clip from NHL network, managed to get to it without spoiler either (I was surprised). Quite the weak goal in OT by Comrie. There was enough space left on the file that I didn't think that play would end the game (especially from that angle). And then... clunk...
I like camp. For most of us it is the only time we get to see the kids in action. After that they are distributed around the world in different leagues, most of which are not easy to watch. Once the kids are returned to their teams, I turn onto a just don't get hurt mode for the vets.

I also like TC and the Young Stars game as I try to see if there are any prospects that might make a difference and make the big club. So far for this year Lambert has a chance and that's about it.

I think also this year getting to watch Yager, is a bit of a feel good story. After following the McGroarty saga over the summer, to get a real nice natural center prospect in return has really bolstered our pipeline, especially at center.

And maybe 1 or 2 out of the 23 players might actually suit up with the big club within half a decade

Have to add Kevin He has opened my eyes and many others, I knew nothing about him and watching him at the Young Stars tourney and now at camp I think we may have a solid player in the future
Agreed. He looks like a really nice mid round pick by Chevy.

Agree, Kevin He has been the best surprise so far this camp.
There aren’t a lot of players really turning heads, but He is definitely one that is.
