They should be offering incentive to any of the young players who train with Gary Roberts in the off-season.

I don't know how exclusive it is to be actually trained by Roberts (and not just a member of his fitness center) or how expensive it is but Stamkos, Skinner, Neal, and Connolly have all added between 15 to 30 pounds since their drafts. Don't know how much can be attributed to Roberts himself as he hasn't been in business too long but his first mentee in Stamkos was a pretty good way to start off his profile.

I'd love to see Baertschi reaching towards 200 pounds after training with Roberts for the next couple years. And people love to bring up former short Flames St. Louis and Fleury as reasons why Gaudreau can succeed but forget that their playing weights are closer to 180 and Gaudreau is listed at 150 in most places. Once he turns pro, I'd do near anything to see him use a signing bonus to be trained by Roberts. Janowski at 6'3'' and 170 pounds could stand to add an extra pound or several dozen as well.

Can't really give any incentive but extra cash on their next contracts or offer them 1-way contracts instead of a 2-way if they're near that cusp if they use up their summer time on training. And especially the guys who are already in Ontario for the off-season, like probably Monohan and Janowski, should be looking into it.
