Gaudreau was definitely feeling things out today. I wouldn't slap farm team on him just now. He was still doing lots of things at both ends of the ice. Give it a week and he'll find his groove.
I really liked the newcomers today. Seto and Raymond were sharp. Brodie was solid. A couple nice shifts from Granlund against nhl defenders. Oh and Baertschi was a surprise. So many players though that I found myself fixating on just a handful whose numbers I recognized.
The intensity was through the roof for what was supposed to be a scrimmage. Players are trying to put their bid in for those spots early..
