Team B

Hamilton is Hamilton, better than the rest of the D-men

Jyrki Jokipakka played well. Looking forward to seeing him in game action to see where he slots in.

Bruce looked the best I have watched him play. Still a long long long way to go.

Culkin and Wotherspoon are both close to being NHL D-men, Spoon slightly ahead. Culkin will probably make his NHL debut this season provided he's healthy just to see what he's got. Sort of like what they did with Sieloff last year.

Andersson will be good down the road. Not there yet.

Grossman is Douglas Murray. The only way he signs is if he wants to be the captain of the Heat.

Luke Adam - Probably the best of the invited players. Not an NHL caliber player.
Mikkel Aagaard - if he signs, it'll be likely an AHL deal.
Jamie Devane - A 13th AHL forward.
Ryan Lomberg - tenacious prospect. Quality motor. Only wish he was over 6'0" because he would be an NHL player. Size may limit him.

Alex Chaisson - He is a 3rd or 4th line forward. If the Flames are forced to put him on the first line, something has gone wrong with the other options that are available. I'd rather split Frolik and Backlund and put Frolik up on the first line to prevent that scenario.

Lance Bouma - Looking like he's trying to have a season like two years ago. Lots of quality shots on net. Picking corners on the goalies.

Dillon Dube - oozes skill. Someone to keep your eye on for a few years.

Eetu Tuulola - continues his good play.

Emile Poirier and Hunter Shinkaruk - Poirier did nothing in the practice to stand out in a positive sense. Shinkaruk was better than him, but I have my doubts on his ability to play top 6 minutes. Will have to see them play in the preseason to get a better read.

Matt Stajan - I wonder if he would be better off on the wing, especially with the Flames center depth.
