I don't trust Vegas' scouting staff, they don't seem very thorough. That's why I don't get excited about Dean.

I don't get excited over many 30th overalls until I see them play.

How much have you actually seen of Dean?
I ask because your "meek" label is from way out in left field, compared to what myself, and a few others have noticed.

I just said "a little on the meek side" not totally meek, like Kyrou meek.

I can't wait to see him make his play next weekend.

Oh yeah, he should be running roughshod over all the youngins in this tournament. Kind of like Bolduc did last year.

I hope the Blues have a couple goons penciled in the lineup.

Thanks for posting. Pretty much who I expected them to send given who will be playing in college/Europe this season.

Was wondering if they were going to send Commesso but I’d guess he was considered too experienced with 2 AHL seasons under his belt already. The Russian Berezhnoy sounds interesting though.

Based just on rosters, I’d say the Blues have the best overall roster but the Hawks look good too with Rinzel and Levshunov. The Wild with 2 high profile prospects too in Buium and Yurov. You just never know how things will shake out, especially with rosters full of such raw players. Should be a good mini-tournament this weekend.

Why?

And they don’t from what I see. That said, I don’t know a ton about Sam Stange and Anthony Kehrer. Both played at U of Wisconsin last season but given their size and PIMs, I doubt either is a bruiser. Kehrer has already been signed to an AHL deal by the T-birds. Stange is just an invitee as of now.

AJ Spellacy is going to try to make a name for himself by delivering bone crunching body checks - he's a big boy that can skate but he's not dirty.

6'3" 205

And AJ Spellacy could have played NCAA football himself. A three-star free safety and wide receiver recruit, he once fielded a phone call from Nick Saban. But instead he left five Division I football scholarship offers on the table and the football team at Saint Ignatius High School (where he’d just finished a season as the lone sophomore on the varsity squad) to pursue another sport: hockey.

Why?

Because if they don't win in goals, at least they can win in fights.

Gotta have some kind of excitement.
