The pictures are great, although I don’t really agree with your assessment of some of the players. For example, I think your description of Bruess was a tad off. He’s only played 14 games in the AHL, so I don’t really think that’s a significant enough amount of time to use as a measuring stick for him. While he was a bit … awkward during the testing, he seemed to come alive during the scrimmage. He was great on the faceoffs — often employing the tried and true B. Gordon method of falling on the puck — and displayed strong puck possession skills. The speed you say he was missing was evident while he was trying to set up plays crossing the blue line. And you can’t forget his bruising hits.

I thought Orlov was also strong — perhaps his main weakness was being paired with Finley, as he was often covering for the latter’s blunders. He has good offensive instincts, and his shot is killer. Needs to learn when to jump in and when to stay back, but then again, so do some NHLers we know … Miskovic was the best D-man on the white squad before he was hurt. It’s clear his time spent in Hershey helped him develop a lot.

The blog has been great and between you and OFB the Finley coverage is hilarious! After hearing how great all of our prospects are doing I think I am even more upset that we signed Schultz to that deal. Trying to keep an open mind about the guy, but he is 3rd line material at best unlesss he starts to play physical.
