Prospect Camp

I was able to attend the prospect camp but only on Friday. I was off to the right side of the rink and was only able to see one side of the ice. I therefore got a good look at the defensemen from the first skate and the forwards from the second skate.

I was not impressed with the defensemen that I saw. No one really had a booming shot. Only about one out of three shots hit the net. Passing did not look very good.

I was impressed with what I saw out of the offense. This was the first time I saw TJ Oshie and he is good. I didn't notice Berglund much. I saw Lemtyugov in Peoria for a game and he looked faster today (of course, this was just drills). Nikiforov = itty bitty. Reaves looked huge out there.

I didn't go to the game on Friday night. Comments have mentioned that Berglund seems timid. This could be the worst thing for him. At this point, I would not be surprised if he went to Peoria to start the season.
