How did the American Matthew Lacombe look? Didn't get a good enough look at him truthfully the little I did see of him he didn't really stand out. I'll be at the scrimmage game tonight so I'm hoping to get a better look at some of the guys I didn't really notice earlier.

A few thoughts after attending tonight’s intrasquad game.
Out of the forwards I thought Ricard, MacFarlane, Francis and Lacombe stood out. MacFarlane could very well be this years Fullerton. His size really stood out and I thought he had a good offensive touch. Francis and Lacombe are interesting ones because they’re both very small players, especially Francis (looked like he was 5’4” out there), that have a ton of skill. But I’m not sure if it could translate to playing against veteran players.
For the defense. Lincoln Waugh should be a lock for the team. Carbonneau could really give Desjardins a run for his money for a D spot. I think his size and physical play could put Desjardins spot in limbo. Will Murphy could definitely benefit from a year in Jr A. He looks to have all the tools to be one of the best shutdown defensemen in this league but his skating is lacking. I was surprised by the level of physical play of Nolan Ryan. He hits like he’s 6’5” 210 lbs.
Coombs IMO opinion was the best out of the short stint all the goalies got tonight. Milota looks like a very calm keeper but wasn’t really tested a lot.

Édouard Blais 16yo (Prospect) Johnathan Coombs 16yo (Prospect) Anyone else kinda surprised to see Lochead let go so quickly? I wasn't expecting him to play a big role on the team, but thought he would push for a bottom six spot. They must have decided they liked some younger guys more, but I am surprised he isn't getting a couple of preseason games.

As an 18 year old .......Where does he fit in with a Top Tier Team ? Release him early and maybe he gets another chance with some rebuilding Club .

Personally I wasn't really surprised to see him cut early he just never really stood out from the pack these last three days while other guys made sure to impress.

He went off injured in the 1st period of the scrimmage this morning. I’m guessing his camp is done because of injury.

He had a big season last year and must be heartbreaking to have your camp end like that.
