I think Umberger is a good fit playing with Lecavalier.

I hope so, hopefully we see them together at some point in preseason again

He's good in the offensive zone without the puck. It's his defensive reads that concern me.

I've been a little harsh. He doesn't look like Giroux in G's spot on the PP

Legit prospects for this first time in forever. Laughton and Ghost look great.

I'm a believer that Umberger will be the second center in 5 on 3 situations against, after Couturier this season.

No, but he's been solid there. So far everytime I've seen him Vinny and Raffl, the Flyers have been eating up offensive zone time

Imagine how good the pool's gonna look after a couple of Hexy drafts with 2nd-round picks.

The cycle game has worked on that line for sure.

Raffl has looked well on the boards, Akeson seems to navigate to open pockets, and vinny wants the puck down low and also setting up I the slot when needed

Agreed. It's an interesting training camp. Bottom six players or bottom three players are really competing for spots and playing pretty hard in doing so. Blair Jones is making things interesting.

Hopefully he'll be the one trading some rotten corpses for 2nds

Pretty much everyone's playing well. Ghost, Laughton, Leier & Morin have stood out to me aming the kids.

The Raffl-Vinny-Akeson line has been very good.

The Devils seem to be playing with the intensity of a man waiting for a table at Denny's

Also gotta say, Zac Rinaldo has been a very effective player in the games I have watched. He's done a good job and been a positive presence for the Flyers.

He's been great in this game. If his play is anywhere near this level the rest of the pre-season he's going to make the team. Very impressive.
