Hockeybuzz Hot Topic: Rookie Camp Profiles

Excited to see Krebs (should stand out), Dugan hopefully impresses and is the first guy in the line-up if somebody gets called up. I'm tired of this team inserting career AHL'er with no upside anytime a forward is out.

I definitely agree. The lineup needs to be opened up for younger players to get a look.

He’s not a career AHLer, but with how newcomer Brett Howden looked last season: he may as well be. That will likely be the roadblock for Dugan this season.

I expect that to be the case in the early part of the season even if he does impress. But if after some games of him probably doing nothing, I could see them going to a younger guy for a spark.

What’s going on with the Patrick contract? Waiting to see his health? Seems strange he’s still a pending being he doesn’t have much (any) leverage Rooting for the kid

His health is a factor, but also the fact that the Golden Knights are at the cap ceiling even with Tuch starting the season on LTIR. Something has to give. Thanks for reading!

Kallionkieli is already slated to return to the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL. Keep on North American size rink where he should do well. But i agree he needs to stay healthy.
