Like:
Corban Knight, A+: He is probably better than Gretzky at this point.

Corban Knight, : B - I thought Knight would take a bit more time to adjust to the pro game, but he has been an impact player right from the start.

Ben Hanowski, : B - Same as Knight

Roman Horak, : D - I find a ton of plays have died on his stick this year. He is one of the veterans and I expected to see him raise his offensive game.

Max Reinhart, : C - As advertised, plays in all 3 zones and works his ass off and provides decent production.

Josh Jooris, : A - I expected nothing from Jooris, but he has been very good.

Greg Nemisz, : C - My expectations are tempered with Niemo. I expect modest production, good board work and penalty killing. He has given all of that.

Markus Granlund, : C - I didn't know what to expect from Granlund, so I kept my expectation modest and expected moderate production from an offensive minded player.

Tyler Wotherspoon, : C - Mostly solid with a few rookie hiccups, exactly as expected IMO.

Mark Cundari, : F - I am not pleased with his play what so ever. Lot's of giveaways, little offensive production and he hasn't been as involved physically as he needs to be.

Michael Ferland, : D - The only improvement over his play last season is effort. He is still offensively anemic and his only fight was defending himself after a big hit.

John Ramage, : B - My expectations were similar to that of Wotherspoon, but Ramage has been more composed and more reliable.

Reto Berra, : B - I thought it would take Berra a bit longer to look as confortable as he does.

my grades on the players based on what seen compared to what I expected from them. (A = Far Exceed, B = Exceed, C = As Expected, D = Below Expectations, F = Far Below Expectations)

And in case people were wondering I subscribe to the Heat package on AHL live so I do actually view the players.
