C Curtis Douglas (AHL deal): Douglas legs still splay from the knees and trail behind his chest but he was actually moving better than Ive ever seen him this week. Were going to give him every opportunity to make mistakes, too. With Berube having moved on, and Greaves is now one of the clubs AHL goaltenders this season.

He didnt really put that much time in the gym when he was younger and once he got to the NHL level and they were like, hey, youve got to get stronger.

Jiricek has played almost exclusively on Olympic-sized ice, and hes come up through Czechias men league, which isnt nearly as physical as North American-style hockey. It looked reallygood. His hard work paid off with a goal on a two-on-one in the finale. Another year, another Traverse City Prospect Tournament in the books. There was the draft.

Pretty good numbers, considering he was making a major adjustment all the while. The 15th pick of the 2021 draft certainly stood tall in the crease, but his fundamentals looked off, and he didnt really inspire confidence in the defensive zone. He had a goal and was plus-2 in this tournament. His energy was ramped up as usual; you can see it in the way he creeps into the faceoff circle or the effort he displays on the backcheck or steals or some of the second effort plays he makes after he loses a battle.

He continued that momentum in this years tournament, surrendering just one goal on 25 shots throughout the tournament. LW Brayden Guy (free-agent invite): Guy was involved in absolutely everything. He exchanged pleasantries with the opposition in every game he played, and his 6-foot-3, 205-pound frame allowed him to physically impose himself on his opponents.

Edvinsson, specifically, played in all three of the Red Wings games and, while he certainly did not look bad on the ice, he did not stand out in the same way that Lucas Raymond did at last years tournament. He looked noticeable when he got touches. Marco Rossi, F, Minnesota Wild: The No. As the No. Hes a very skilled player, hes an excellent skater, hes got a really good shot, he moves the puck well, we felt he could play on our top line with Theo Rochette and Christopher Farmer and we were looking for a player who could play two years for us. 13, 2018): Dellandrea wore the C, played on the inside (he goes there every time he catches a puck on the wing), was engaged in all of his battles, played smart on the penalty kill (which hell need to make the Stars) and was particularly good in the second game.

Jake Sanderson , D, Ottawa Senators: The 20-year-old (6-2, 185) is expected to participate after recovering from a right hand injury. I actually liked his defensive game more than the four points in four games. Training camp is next and, before you know it, well have preseason games to discuss. He still found ways to keep pucks and make things happen on the wall and the interior, but thats going to get harder at higher levels if he doesnt get a little quicker in short bursts.

I am a Western Michigan University alum whose passion for hockey knows no limits. Heres what they said: Johnson played center, the first time hes done that in at least two seasons. He looked stockier out there, too and played like he was ready to take a big step forward with the Marlies. Ive always like Barteauxs hybrid game - he can move the puck, but can be a shutdown guy when needed. 111, 2021): Roulette sat out the opener but I thought he was good the rest of the way, especially in his debut in the second game when he and Johnston looked like the Stars best duo offensively.
