Love the way Zary plays. And Pelletier too, though it is looking so far like he still isn't ready. Phillips has been good, but not good enough (yet) where I'd say he's earned the spot.
My money is on Milano. I know he hasn't stood out yet, but we have to consider the role here: they need a goal scorer. And the difference between Milano and the rest of these guys is that he can do that. Like Toffoli - it doesn't matter that the rest of your game is mediocre, if you can put the puck in the net, there is probably a position open for you.
I didn't expect much from Eakin, but he may earn himself a 4th line role.

Milano and Eakin played on the same line versus the Canucks and I have to say Eakin was more effective. Milano tried a few things that didn't work and he's obviously the more creative player. Eakin seems like a pro. His career took a tumble after he got the really bad call against him in the POs versus the Sharks that cost Vegas the series.
