nice

Never gets tiring seeing youngsters play their way onto the team earlier than expected.

Awesome! Valimaki is a stud to make the NHL on defense right out of junior. Wow.

Excellent. There's not much doubt that past regimes would have been more inclined to give those spots to a vet that had been outplayed.

I have to say this has been one heck of a camp. Many of the new players coming in look good and then having several kids pushing was a nice bonus.

Dube, Valimaki, Lindholm, Hanifin, Neal, Czarnik, Ryan.

Nearly 1/3 of the entire roster turned over and a new coaching staff. Hopefully these moves will be the boost we need for this team to take the next step to contender status.

So Andersson has not? Which would explain his pairing with Prout in practice today.

No mention of Mangiapane either.

Ungh, I have to be that guy...

People just posting twitter links is annoying by itself (they're really short messages, you could just quote it), but we now get OP's with nothing but a link?

Gah.

Okay, now that I got that out of my system:

Honestly surprised Välimäki made it. I'm a little worried that we might be rushing him, but we'll see how it goes. In any case nice to see young players get a chance.

Valimaki only got better and better as camp rolled on. Definitely displaced Kulak for a possible role. Dube was one of the brightest spots all camp long, and never looked out of place no matter where Peters and Co. put him.

This reflects very well on both the players and the organization.

Both are well deserved and earned it. We will see what happens with Andersson now. Mangiapane had a good camp as well and very close to cracking bottom 6.

Does Dube get a real number now or does he stick with the training camp number?

The organization's two best prospects (IMO) just made the team.

A little weird they are keeping Andersson up. Wonder if Lazar gets moved or if Andersson gets on a plane to California tomorrow.
