Adds some size, it would be nice to see him play a wee bit more before I take your word for it.
Fair. Size only matters if you can play hockey well. Size is massively overrated, people use it like if you are big you can be bad at hockey. Which really isn’t true.
You can absolutely want more sample to make your mind up. I’m also allowed to have my mind made up based on his career.

Can't be taught, everything else can be. I watching the other game, hoping to see him play a few.

I Hope there are at least 10 players sent down tomorrow, my takes Lavoie is ready for the NHL he must stay If Perry and Ryan do nothing in pre-season waive them we have a couple ready to step in
I’d keep the main roster and Lavoie, Savoie, Hamblin, Gleason, Rodrigue (need another goalie in camp), Dineen, Philp. No need to waste time on anyone else.

Size can’t be tought but a bad hockey player is bad, doesn’t matter how big they are. Bad players who are big aren’t someone you should have on your roster. Yet people still think size is useful even if that’s all they are.

I'd add Hamblin to that list. Everyone else can get cut

I really like the combination of cycle work and shooting mentality. I'm not sure where he fits, but we should keep him up.

It doesn't bode well that the Ekholm Bouchard pair played 26-28 minutes tonight and the other pairs still got caved.
Which makes sense. Kemp and Hofenmayer are okay AHl guys, the other 2 are ECHL guys at best. The other team had our better d but they got caved too
