J.T. Compher
Center J.T. Compher played 21 games with the Colorado Avalanche starting at the beginning of March. He scored three goals and earned two assists.
Compher looks like a veteran rookie among the other youngsters. The 22-year-old is poised on the ice. He clearly has an understanding of Avs’ hockey.
Recently Compher spoke with Marc Moser of Altitude Sports. He remarked that his comfort level was a lot higher this year than it was last year going into his first camp. He now understands well how the testing and camp goes.
He added:
"“Now I have a little bit better idea of what I need to do and how I need to play. I think I’m a little bit more excited going into camp.”"
If it came down to Compher vs. Jost, I don’t know which would win the spot. How things go with the Prospect Showcase will show us a little more.
It might be a little easier to make the team as a defensive prospect this season.
