Really impressed seeing who won the prospect fitness testing as well.
None of Healey, Dube, or Pollock are expected to have much of a shot at the Flames this season. They'd have to have an outstanding camp. But it really impresses me that they take their opportunity so seriously that they outwork all of the other prospects in the offseason to come into camp in the best shape.
We talk occasionally about wanting upward pressure from our prospects to force veterans to stay on top of their game. Guys like Healey, Dube and Pollock are putting upward pressure on our top prospects, forcing the prospects to up their game. That's great to see.
