Kulich better impress at Rookie camp!
Curious how Rychlovsky does (was on line 1 for Detroit's pre game lineup today). Same with Hovorka for the Panthers.
Cibulka and Matecha have no chance of making club but may get an ELC if all goes well.

Lekkerimaki looked really good, could have had 4 or so goals last night

This is Hurricanes Hockey
Hurricanes and Lightning played last night and despite the Hurricanes winning 7-4, Tampas Connor Geekie was the best player for both teams.
As for Carolina, Gleb Trikizov had a hat-trick this afternoon but the standouts have been Morrow, FUS, Blake, and Nadeau.

Hiroki Gojsic from Nashville has been noticeable. Drafted 94th this year.

Hutson looked very good offensively, hes going to break a lot of ankles at the blueline. He looked just okay defensively.
Reinbacher is so incredibly average. Legitimately a waste of value at 5th overall. It sickens me. Beck looked good. I liked Thorpe but he got rocked by some kid that looked like he was maybe 5'8. Mesar was invisible unfortunately.
Cowan and Minten were very strong for the Leafs. Their goalie (tall guy) let in some stinkers but played really well in the 3rd period.

Seamus Casey is looking good and setting up teammates.
Chase Stillman looks like he might be 4th line material at least. to bad he was drafted in the 1st round.

Heidt had 1g, 1a, figuring in on both of his teams goals. He looks good. Bankier and Haight also looked good, but none of them blew me away.
Oddly, Leskovar looked good, hitting everything that moved, had a few SOG, and didn't look like a complete troglodyte with the puck, or defensively.
Havlaj looked good in goal.
For the Hawks, Nazar, Spellacy, and Gaudreau(G) looked good. Dach, too, but I expect more from him. Allan looked good early on, but didn't notice him as much later.
No one on the ice stood out as surefire NHL'ers right now ... Spellacy maybe as a crash banger? Maybe Nazar?

No one was utterly dominant but McGroarty, Ponomarev, Broz, Pickering and Koivunen looked like the Pens best players which is good. UDFA Atley Calvert looks like he might be able to avoid the ECHL altogether but we’ll see. Didn’t look out of place amongst a lot guys taken in the top 100. Harrison Brunicke is a 10/10 brilliant skater, the way he moves is incredible. Can go any direction with basically no effort and explodes doing so. He’s pretty raw everywhere else though. Despite him not really being a top performer, I honestly think the Pens brass leaves Buffalo super enthused about what they saw from him in this tourney more than anyone else… he flashed what you cannot teach.
There’s not much to take away from these games but always fun to check them out.

For the Flyers, obviously Michkov was fantastic, our second best was Andrae, and of course Luchanko looked good.
I actually thought bonk disappointed in his game yesterday, don't know how he did today if he even played.

Thoughts on the the first dal/det game:
MBN, Hemming, and Wheatcroft looked
As advertised
Danielson was pretty invisible
Bichsel stood out in a bad way

Matt Savoie looked pretty mediocre to me, mostly just due to his pace and skating. Neither are very good, so he's going to have to either improve his skating, or be extremely smart with his positioning. Just one game, so I don't want to read into it too much.
Wanner had a good game, he's pretty solid in his own end, and actually moves the puck pretty well.
EDIT: This is in regards to last night's game, I didn't watch tonight's game.

Ooo is he part Japanese?
Hunter Brewski has been the Flames best prospect so far. He looks like a steal.

Engstrom impressed me the most, as I had not much expectations from him.
Good: Hutson and Beck
Disappointing: Reinbacher, Mesar and Farrell
