Just saw the second period but Reichel-AA-Kurashev were flying out there.

Vlasic skating stride reminds me of big bird (Larry Robinson)

I managed to watch most of it. I thought the pace was pretty quick the entire scrimmage. I don't know how Corey Perry is going to keep up.

I thought Allan looked good out there.

From what little I saw of KK today, he looked brutal.

That 98 guy looks pretty good - may even be a keeper - his play making is special

Luke Richardson said the Vlasic-Zaitsev pairing stood out to him during today's scrimmage.

"Vlasic’s really using his range and his stick. They don’t come across the blue line clean a lot of times when he’s out there."

Yeah I put my first attempt at six rounds up and it is early but Charlie Elick is in my option anything but a later second rounder (to the hawks):

Take THAT, hockey news!

and if goaler Caleb Heil will be lucky to be off the board in the early second.

Wiz, you have Michael Hage MUCH lower than many draft analysts (round 6 vs round 1). What don't you like? Or are you in the "prove it" camp due to last year's injury?

I didn't get to see scrimmage, but this is what I heard from others...

Söderblom looked pretty good.

Allen, Korchinski, Kaiser made some visible mistakes (no surprise for rookies)

Bedard did Bedard things with playmaking and avoiding contact and apparently he really wanted to win the scrimmage and was a bit upset that his side lost. “Connor was extremely upset he lost today, which I love. I was looking at him, he’s kind of pouting over there.” - Nick Foligno

Good to see some good competitive spirt out there.

OK, I'll say it: any "pouting" probably doesn't equate with pouting we are most familiar with!

I agree, personally if they don't think he's ready to hang in the big leagues i sure hope they don't burn a year on his ELC

What's the difference? They have a poop load of cap space

He should go back to the WHL to marinate a little bit more, it can't hurt.

KD said with Reichel the ELC was immaterial. I assume the same with any other player.

If they don't make mistakes our offense is really bad.

That’s not saying much LA, but you’re probably right.

Imagine in a year or two when this includes Nazar and Moore. Some serious speed and skill.

Even better, imagine if those two are as good as expected…

And also nine picks in the first two rounds in the next two years. Hoping the BPA’s have size and speed to round off this team, and a RD or two.
