Wednesday's Oklahoma City Barons training camp looked absolutely identical to the one the day before. 10:00am drills followed by an 11:00 am, two period scrimmage. The compete level was still high, especially for this only being day number three of camp, but with the Oilers nearing a fully realized NHL roster (or something close to it), the number of warm bodies in minor league camp continues to grow. As the number grows, it becomes even more pertinent for players to begin separating themselves from the rest of the pack.
Today, the scrimmage in particular, was very much an orchestrated dance of defensive pairs and offensive lines. There are, however, a few constants worth noting.
The only legit line, one that we have now seen three straight days play together, is Austin Fyten, C.J. Stretch, and Derek Nesbitt. All AHL contracted, all looking like the only scoring threat the Barons have -- for now. They are quick. They are strong. They are unafraid to be confident with the puck. In summation, they are the best offensive weapons with the most consistent talent that the Barons currently have in the confines of the Cox Center.
