Group B

BEST DEFENSMEN

Alexander Dielert

I can see some people’s eyebrows lifted with Dielert name mentioned but I feel he is a diamond in the rough. He was very good at handling the puck and getting it out of the zone. Dielert is a great passer, has good vision and thinks ahead before he passes it. He needs to mature and beef up, but mark my words he will be a force and you will hear his name.

Ryan Wilson

The Recent FA assignee was very good today. He can take ramholt’s position as the offensive defensemen. I can see him being a power play quarterback down in the farm. He has some great offensive ability, very fast skater and more important, has some smarts.

THREE BEST FORWARDS

Kyle Greentree

His maturity level really showed today, he seemed to be a leader out there. First of all Kyle has a great shot, he has good hands seems to be very good at handling a bouncing puck. Better than average speed, will improve through out the camp. I can see him starting out as a third liner but he could blossom into a second liner. I think we got a steal in acquiring him from Philly.

Mikael Backlund

Please this kid is like a man among boys Backlund is simply put the best prospects in the camp. He is scary good with the puck, he does things with the puck that could be considered larceny in most provinces. He excels at everything; if you ask me they may have a hard time not keeping him in the line up how can you not but consider him. He has done everything well.

Daniel Ryder

I am so happy the Flames are giving this kid a chance this season. Daniel showed today why patience is a virtue. He was quick and graceful in his skating, he is a pure skater a delight to watch. His shot is quick and hard may need some improvement on accuracy. He has outstanding puck skills a terrific playmaker, will be a great addition to the farm team.

Jim Spratt

Jim made the save of the practice today doing a splits making a great glove hand save. Spratt had his best day at camp so far he is a great guy with a wonderful personality a very personable kid.

I liked your write up but I didn't think Ryder was that great, he seems to have gained a mythical reputation on CP but he gave about half the effort everyone else did I thought.

Agree, that's what I saw as well. He scored some great goals but didn't really have the effort a lot of other players had.
