Of the new guys, really liked a lot of them tonight. Lucic was every bit as solid as I thought he’d be. DSP was very good. McDonald was noticeable. Even Rinaldo showed some speed and edge.
Talbot though, woof. Never really saw anything in him. Still not sure why the Flames brass decided to sign him and at that $$$ figure. I’ll give him a pass tonight because it’s the preseason, but those first 2 goals cannot go in at this level. He better figure it out quick because this team cannot have a repeat of first half Smith again.

Based entirely on one viewing:
I didn’t think much of DSP. Never really got his feet moving, and looked like a Chiasson-replacement filler, but with less effort.
Was impressed by Rinado’s speed, even if it had no impact. Would like to see him the AHL.
Talbot...awful. It will be a process with him though. You don’t instantly find your game after years in Shelbyville.
Lucic impressed. At the absolute minimum, he cared more about a pre-season game than Neal did about a playoff game. I think we’ll end up cheering this guy on for a reason.
Bennett-Backlund-Frolik were solid.
Gaudreau-Monahan-Zzzzzzzzzzz are still off enjoying their summers, which is cool - pre-season is pre-season.
Giordano looks like a beast on a mission.
