Johnson is a great backup. Both were very composed.
Gillies is closer to being ready. Solid in his net. Will likely see a ton of ice in Stockton
McDonald was okay. Better than Penticton in terms of composure.
Rittich was better than previous viewings. An AHL backup.
Schneider was decent.
Parsons robbed a couple shooters and was the best prospect goalie (not counting gillies)
Team C
Brodie + Engelland are basically in mid season form.
Kulak could fill in as a #7 right now.
Falkovsky is slower than he can be. smart two way defender with good hands and shot. Impressive for a 7th rounder.
Kylington still makes a handful of bad plays. Kylington is still our best defensive prospect. Just a matter of when rather than if.
Grigoriev is adequate as a walk on. Adequate does not equate to a contract.
Matt Bailey made a couple good toe drags and some flashy plays. He would also make really bad decisions. Probably won't result in a contract.
Vey and Frattin = lesser Derek Grant types that will be veterans in Stockton.
Ferland/Hathaway/F. Hamilton/Bollig are all 11th/12th/13th/14th forward types. some skill, but nothing to write home about.
Higgins is a smart player. However, he is too slow. Probably not an NHLer.
Frolik was the best of group C
Pollock and Phillips = Call back in 2 years to see if they progress. too early to see.
I'll write more later. Don't have time to go in depth for the rest.

Ferland really? Is his stock dropping?
