Rookie Write Up

We are half way through the pre-season and teams are trying out their junior players, looking to see whose ready, who has potential and who should be cut.

Leading the way with the most accumulated points is Todd Thompson of the San Jose Sharks. Thompson, the 2nd overall pick of the last draft, has 5 goals and 2 assists, which puts him 1 point ahead of Wyatt Baumgartner, a 22 year old who might be looking at his last chance to break in to a veteran Coyotes side. Minnesota's big defender Kirill Oleksei has been singled out for an outstanding work rate, but some have noticed his speed across the ice is suffereing.

Other stand out players Alexei Kirilev of the New York Islanders and Len Santiago, an enforcer for the Chicago Wolves who has registed 18 PiM's in his 4 games for the Thrashers so far. He's also registered 6 points and had 2 fights. both of which he lost.

Between the pipes Jeremy Nuransk for the New York Rangers has had a great start to the pre-season. The 18 year old has let in just 3 goals and has made 2 shut outs already. A solid defensive set up in front of him has no doubt helped as the Rangers field their vets over their rookies but it is impressive none the less. Reggie Flanigan of the Los Angeles Kings has been even more impressive, also registering 3 goals against and 2 shut outs, plus an assist to go with it.

Special mentions should also go to Anaheims Trevor Galison, Columbus's Kyle Costello and Tampa Bays Yannick Laurent, all of whom have faced over 160 shots so far. Galison with a 93.7% save averagem Costello and Laurent around the 92% mark.

1st overall pick Ladislav Stitny of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks is considered to be showing reasonable development but isn't expected to make the final cut this time round.
