In the first preseason game Matt Read played in, he was on the ice with a lot of inexperienced players, and I noticed immediately that he was the only forward on the PK who didn’t look like he was in a mild state of panic. By the end of training camp, and the last game he played in, he looked like an NHL player. Not bad for the guy on a PTO who out-competed a host of younger NHL-contracted players who were all vying for one depth job.
