Team A
Gio and Wideman both looked better than the rest. Not a surprise.
Kanzig has improved a lot. Has to work on his lateral movement mostly. He could eventually be a Deryk Engelland type guy if he works out his flaws.
Morrison and Dyukov were okay. Both AHL quality guys.
Robak and Hyman should and likely will not earn contracts
Angelidis - AHL vet
Bennett looked great. Hoping for a breakout season. Great chemistry with Tkachuk and Brouwer. That would be a great line. I think because of how they work together, Tkachuk will make the team this season. Still slightly slow, and chewing on his mouthguard the entire time, but other than that he looked ready. Would have to figure he gets the 9 game try out and see how it goes. Brouwer is as advertised.
Burke was cut today. Wouldn't be surprised if he comes back next year.
Carroll looked the same as he did.
Jankowski was good again. Could make the NHL out of camp. of the bubble players like Shinkaruk Ferland etc, he was the best of the bunch.
Korpikoski played as The Scorpion put it, like an Edmonton Oilers' 4th liner. Not going to make the team unless he's willing to go to Stockton.
Mangiapane continued to play well.
Klimchuk had a few quality passes and snipes. The problem with him is that he always looks good in practice and yet is only okay in games. Hoping that he starts translating practice Klimchuk into game Klimchuk.
Smith - Still slow. Other than that was alright.
