It\u2019s a couple of games, then all of a sudden, it\u2019s not the preseason anymore and they don\u2019t look as noticeable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">It raises this question to me: What\u2019s more valuable to these prospects? Is there value to giving these guys the experience because they \u201cearn it\u201d in camp? Or is it better off to just go into camp with a legitimate plan?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Carter Hutton: I think there\u2019s value, honestly, just because of the mental aspect. If you struggle at the NHL level, there\u2019s no hiding it. I took a lot of my struggles when I was younger in the American Hockey League when there were 500 fans in a game and you could hide from national television and six different angles of a bad goal, or not open up my social media and be hammered because you\u2019re not playing well. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">For these younger players, to get that experience and go through a full training camp and understand that this is the NHL \u2026 I read a quote from Martin that said, \u201cThere\u2019s no shifts to catch your breath,\u201d and it\u2019s a really good point about how if you take a shift off, someone makes you pay. I think you really get exposed to that and what goes into being prepared to play in the NHL.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">You can watch the full segment and the rest of the episode here\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Nashville Predators sent forward prospect Brady Martin back to the Soo Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236226,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-236225","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236225\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
