Bart is the 7th
Wotherspoon.. just not what I was wanting to see especially with that 6th spot open and up for grabs. This guy has seemingly pouted at times about his calls up and his send downs. He needed to fight for the spot last night and instead he fought the puck, made poor decisions, managed the puck poorly and was working at a bakery for much of the game (which is good if you like turnovers)
Kulak.. Same as above though he was the better player between the two. I think his ceiling is not that high, what your seeing is what your going to get from Kulak. I was impressed with how he could jump up in the play but lots of plays died on his stick around the blue line and he was fighting the puck on his PP chances.
Andersson is a legit prospect. I think the only reason he doesn't step in is because he's a righty, out of all the D last night vying for the 6th spot he was the best.
Valimaki is gonna be a NHLer but he needs more seasoning. He made a ton of impressive plays, doesn't panic with pressure on the line; makes smart passes and plays and knows when to jump up. Very impressed with this pick.
I'm hoping Kylington gets a shot next game because I think he could steal the spot, he plays fast and up tempo, can move the puck well and I think what he needs to grow in his game would be good to grow now in the NHL eating 12 to 14 mins a night with a good pro in Stone.
