NHL development camps……Who stood out?

Excerpt from Dobberhockey.com (Matt Bugg):

Montreal
Star of the Camp: Max Pacioretty, 1st round ’07. According to Habs Head Scout Trevor Timmins, the WCHA Rookie of the Year was “head and shoulders” above the camp’s other participants. He scored two goals in a 3-on-3 scrimmage on Friday. Will be in the NHL in 2009-10.

Boston
Star of the Camp: Blake Wheeler, 1st round ’04. Bs fans had to be a mite concerned, what with the huge dollars thrown at an unproven college free agent. Those worries can be put to rest. Wheeler didn’t look like a prospect next to the other invites, scoring multiple times on camp goalie Manny Fernandez with both pinpoint wristers and dirty rebounds. He looks to have learned how to use his size, and his speed has improved mightily.
