Notes:
- Jarred Tinordi has taken Alex Henry’s number 5.
- Derek Wills (@dogsplaybyplay) mentioned he was very impressed with Michael Bournival’s shot.
- Interesting to see the Geoffrion – Leblanc – Palushaj and Bournival – Nattinen – Gallagher line combos on opposite teams. We could very well see those lines this year.
- Aaron Palushaj has put on 10 pounds of muscle over the summer. He looks to be in great shape.
- Brendan Gallagher says he added 8-10 pounds of muscle this summer. He is now up to 182.
- Morgan Ellis is not skating this weekend due to a lower body injury. It seems the kid can’t catch a break, as he missed development camp earlier this summer as well. Luckily, he moved to Montreal in the off season and has been working out under the teams trainers and physicians all summer.
