Some guys who impressed me:

Johnson - has a definite chance to make the team. Physical, good skater, poised. Really liked him on first viewing.

Colborne - Does look bigger. Good puck protection.

Mangiapane - A waterbug. Great draft pick. Could end up exceeding expectations. Dangerous with the puck.

Kylington - Showed his escapability a few times, his skating is just absurd. Will be exciting to see how he progresses.

As mentioned, Backlund line was the best line. Gaudreau was Gaudreau. Brodie, Brodie.

Engelland - Still a black hole, unfortunately (exoected nothing but...) He just doesn't have puck skills and he and Brodie were pinned a lot, which is silly given his partner is in the top-30 of all NHL defencemen.

Granlund - Wanted to see more. Continues to underwhelm. Ditto Shore and Poirier.

I'll write a little more later.
