Yesterday, the Columbus Blue Jackets wrapped up their appearance at the Traverse City Prospects Tournament. They went 2-1, with a 7-1 win over St. Louis, a 4-2 loss to Detroit, and a 3-2 overtime victory against Toronto. A winning record is nice, but more important is individual players stepping up. Which prospects impressed the most?
Kent Johnson & Kirill Marchenko
These two were the players most likely to make the NHL roster out of camp, and nothing I saw this weekend changed my mind. MrSwift raised two questions about the pair on Friday: Could Johnson play center, and could Marchenko adjust to the North American game?
