Alex Killorn said he understands that Lightning prospects were
not, technically, being evaluated during the week-long Young Guns
camp at the St. Pete Times Forum. Then again, as he said, "Every
time you go on the ice, when you have a GM in the crowd and owners
in the stands, there's always going to be a close eye on you. So,
every time you can do something to stand out, it's always great for
your career."
Killorn, 19, a center, did his part with two goals during
Saturday's scrimmage and a work ethic and focus that got him
noticed. Defenseman Luke Witkowski and forward Matt Marshall also
had standout camps. But Killorn perhaps was a step ahead.
"He just plays the game with his head up," GM Brian Lawton said.
"He fits what I was talking about, guys who are willing to go into
traffic areas to make plays. They're not bashful about it. (Dana
Tyrell and Carter Ashton also fit that bill.) It's one thing we
really want to upgrade on our existing team."
