I may have just missed it but was there a reason why Parsons wasn't out there?

Someone butchered the spelling of Valimaki in this vid. Really summer intern, Vallimacki? Jesus

78 - Dmitry Zavgorodniy - Rimouski Oceanic (QMJHL)
-Small, sleight, quick skater, shifty, quick release, accurate shot, good finisher. Lots of skill but can he overcome the lack of size.

Reminds me of someone. he is even faster than I thought

Burke is here today

Does he have a contract with us?

Standing in the corner at Winsport watching a one on one battling drill in the corners. Pettersen is a small body but very slick in the corners. Very agile and good at spinning out of danger.
Fisher is a BIG boy and is easily outmuscling his teammates

Parsons is here today walking around the rink, not dressed. Doesn’t appear to have any obvious injuries so that’s a good sign

No, he was just drafted. Outside of first round picks prospects usually don’t sign their first pro-contracts until after their first or second season. If he a has a very good season I’m sure the flames would offer a contract sooner than later.

Any suggestions on what time to get there to get a decent place to stand/sit?

[TheScorpion]

As early as possible.

If it's on the big, Olympic sized rink there are lots of seats. I'd be there by 9 at the latest.

I'm bringing my nephew, who was recently devastated when his favourite player, Dougie, was traded.

I'm sure he will pick a new favourite soon.

Might I recommend the young Finn wearing 42?
