Been in and out of the Canada WJ game, saw Morin play one shift and take a high sticking penalty.

No points for Sanheim or Fazleev but he had the shootout winner & did another moonwalk.

They will, he's shown he is turning out to be a steal.

No way that guy doesn't have an ELC by March.

I love that the kid has an actual personality. I hope he makes it....

Got to imagine Lindblom will get a deal, as well after the WJC performance he's had

I'd like to believe that was Hextall trusting the scouts because that had to be all them on believing in their abilities and fighting for them to be selected

It was a short one but nice.

Sanheim didn't have a point but did well positionally and even though he was on the ice for a goal against it wasn't his fault.

That's what I have been saying. I can't see him making the Flyers next year if he can't crack the top 6 of a team of prospects. He is probably a couple years away at best

It's hard to judge a guy playing 7th Dman minutes in a tourney like this, but he hasn't been real memorable.

I don't like how they are using him, he's much better than a 7th D-man.........if that's how they saw him, it may have been best to just not bring him,

Agreed, a lot of times a guy who is primarily a shut down guy needs to play regular shifts to get in a rhythm. Still think he's going to need at least another season or two.

It is tough to judge a player not getting full minutes,but if he can't get top 6 minutes in Junior..How will he get top 6 playing against men in the NHL next year..
I think he has a way to go yet, not saying he won't get there..but we may have to wait longer that we thought

He's getting top pair minutes with his team in the QMJHL. I never expected him soon. I figured three years when he was picked.

That's what it looks like. I was hoping next year ..but it seems maybe his best option is playing year with Phantoms and maybe have a chance to be a late season call up.

I've been saying he needs more time. He's barely played this year because of that injury so that pushed him back a bit & to be barely playing here when he could just be getting big minutes back with Rimouski also hurts.

He's not going to win any speed skating contests but he's been working it & does improve as games go on but that's usually when he sees 20 plus minutes a night if not more.

A couple weeks away from Rimouski shouldn't hurt. The jaw took valuable time away, though, for sure.

He's still a project. Will probably take him a couple year in NHL to really start making an impact, even after a year or two in AhL

Maybe true but 20 to 30 minutes a game to maybe 6 here........even if it's representing his country it can not be a total joy.

Hopefully he rewards those scouts by getting them a few extra picks.

Good things going for him is he's always wanting to learn & improve but most importantly his is one confident kid.
