Devante Stephens has about 0% chance of actually making the team out of camp. We are talking about a player that can barely stick in the AHL, bouncing back and forth between there and the ECHL for years. This is just about punishing Olli for the bag skate and sending a message that nothing is guaranteed for him.

Not gonna lie, that disappoints me. I still have high expectations for him though, I think he turns it around. This is some tough love from Green.

Juolevi got a 1 year show me contract and looked downright embarrassing on the bag skate. 

This is a big year for him. 

 

Who knows whether it was lack of conditioning or covid...

 

My hope is that it was the latter and TG sees that and is bringing him along slowly.... 

I believe he got a 1 way contract and he will not clear waivers

Bag skate means nothing

 

It is possible though that he is still working on recovering full lung capacity after Covid, its not uncommon for guys who had it as bad as he did.

Bag skate does mean something or they wouldn't make professional grown men do it. 

It shows how much a player worked in the offseason. 

I think anyone that has played high level sports know how important conditioning is. 

In the 80s, players came to training camp to get fit before season starts. 

Now players are expected to come in in shape and ready to go

I like how Green is using Miller with Podkolzin to help him along. 

 

Maybe Pods starts in the top 6. 

If he plans on playing Miller at center we could see a top 9 something like...

 

Hoglander - Petey - Boeser (based on seeing Petan between these two yesterday)

Pearson - Horvat - MacEwan/other

Podkolzin - Miller - Garland

 

My only issue here is Horvat getting stuck with the leftovers for wingers once again.

Not to discredit the bag skate, but I honestly never heard of it until Green came to the team. How many other teams use it, I'm having a hard time finding the Tampa Bay lightening bag skate to compare us to Stanley Cup champs... Bag skates don't build championships

The way the Sedins talk about it, it is not just about fitness it is about establishing pacing. Learning what the max your body can do over 40S and get the timing for about what a shift should be.
