Chatter is picking up more as I scout preseason games here, a Northeast-based NHL pro scout told Boston Hockey Now on Wednesday morning. Teams are starting to see if maybe they have a young player that can make the jump or eat up more minutes. Look at what the kid [Mason] Lohrei did in Buffalo last night. Sure, he made some mistakes, but he didn't get down on himself, and man, he ate some minutes up. I watched him a lot last season. I think he could be ready for the show.
I don't really know about (Derek) Forbort, but I can tell you that teams are interested in Grzelcyk, the scout told BHN. Maybe Donny [Sweeney] should ring up Kyle [Davidson] again in Chicago? Grzelcyk is better than any left-shot D they have now, and they have cap space. He could be great on their powerplay.
