2021 Training Camp Thread

[LindG1000]

In less than 48 hours, training camp begins! Physicals on Wednesday, on-ice on Thursday.

Major questions:

1. Who will win the final D spot? We know that Fox, Lindgren, Trouba, Nemeth, and Miller are all locks, but there's fierce competition for that last spot between Lundkvist, Jones, Schneider, and Robertson.

2. The battle for the bottom 6.

3.  - but who will it be!?

 

4. When will G1000 post the ballsy predictions thread? Perhaps the greatest drama of all.

[Phil]

1. I'd be floored if Lundkvist didn't take the 3RD spot. They cleared the decks for him. It's his spot to lose.

2. Barron is the real player to watch here, but this feels mostly settled, too. Basically, some combination of Rooney, Reaves, Blais, and Hunt/Barron.

3. Chris Trouba or Jacob Kreider. Watch 'em fuck around and Briere-Drury that thing and name co-captains.

4. Gonna go with Wednesday, September 21, 2021.

Is this because it doesn't matter which one they choose?  Honestly, I think it should be Kreider but maybe Trouba will be less effected at having the letter on his sweater.

Nah, more so just because they're both seen as likely candidates to be named captain.

Ok G...here we go:

1. Lundqvist...in a no doubter!

2. I'll agree with Phil's answer: Rooney between Blais and Reaves

3. Fox gets the "C"

4. Ballsy predictions thread comes out 9/22 just to make Phil's guess incorrect on purpose.  LOL

I meant the names being juxtaposed.  

[Cash or Czech]

1. Lundqvist, but Jones rides the bus back and forth from Hartford all year as injuries come up.

2. Kreider-Chytil-Goodrow and Rooney-Barron-Blais, with Reave as necessary.

3. Kreider

4. September 29th at 2:32pm.

Jones' spot to lose. Far and away the best, most consistent player during prospect camp. 

No kids in bottom 6*. Might have a leftover winger with kakko/kravtsov but rest should be NHL guys. Maybe Barron makes someone expendable but not yet. 

Captain strome before the season starts, last day of camp

Came here to complain about not balls threads

 

 

 

[Phil]

Jones plays the left. Lundkvist the right. They're not competing for the same role.

If Jones has a spot to pose, it's to Nemeth.

[Drew a Penalty]

Jones can play either side.

[Phil]

Fair enough.

[josh]

Most of those kids can play either side... not that I'd recommend it for a rookie 

Not sure about Reunanen, but I don't see him as an option. Too slow. 

[siddious]

ill just leave this here

 

[TwoMinutesForNothing]

Doesn't look like he spent too much time lifting weights this offseason.

With his arms.*

 

[ThirtyONE]

We did it guys. We made it.

[siddious]

He doesn’t look a day over 15 but yea those quads

[Drew a Penalty]

Chytil has been one of the bigger gym rats over the last few years. He's spent significant time training with Kreider and Ben Prentiss. I'm not concerned about his strength. I hope he worked on faceoffs or I don't know...being smarter?

[josh]

fuck Benjamin Moore.

[josh]

ayyyyy
