Thoughts from Minnesota Wild Prospect Scrimmage: Day 1

Related Topics: Minnesota Wild, Nick Swaney, Alberta

Yesterday, the Wild hosted its first Prospect Development Camp Scrimmage (the second is on Sunday, July 15). Before we get to the takeaways, a word of caution:

Players may look stellar in a development scrimmage merely because they’re playing prospects. Gerry Fitzgerald, for instance, looked stellar as he circled the offensive zone with the puck, playing keep away from the rest of the team. Fitzgerald is 25 and was the oldest player on the ice.

With that: some notes!

Mason Shaw had moments of looking very dangerous. He drove to the net and came close to scoring several times.
