Kind of surpirised that Howse hasn't been paired up with Horak. Maybe get Howse some confidence through familiarity. I know to be good you have to be able to play with anybody, but when a guy is in a rut like Howse is, it may work. I hoped a line of Horak, Bartschi and Howse would be put together as well. i am impressed that the Ward lifestyle coaching has helped Aliu get his game together. Hope he keeps it going.
I honestly didn't expect anything less from Brodie. It may help him in the long run getting top pairing minutes down with the heat.
Ferlands summer has been a bad one then no? First the bar fight and probably a summer of partying and now coming into camp he is feeling it. Maybe Ward should focus on him a little more outside of the rink as well.
How has Byron looked so far?
