I am interested to see what Henrik Bjorklund has to bring. The guy can score and is strong on the puck but I hear his skating is lacking. I have heard many different analyses about Henrik so I am excited to make my own! Also great to see Nyren getting another opportunity to show what he has and in a game format not just at a prospect development camp. No JP Lamoureux, Joni Ortio, Tim Erixon, Alex Deilert, Bill Arnold, Aaron Marvin, CJ Severyn or Nick Larson. Some who are getting ready for University and some for their respective European leagues.
