It's just a completely different environment, it doesn't matter whether you're a lock or one of the non-elite 17 year olds invited, anyone can have a lackluster camp. If you're a bubble player, which Puempel is, you've gotta standout. If Puempel comes out of 3 red/white games with a goal and an assist, there's a good chance he'll miss the team. They need to see him very active in the goal scoring department.
That said, I think he's one of those guys that may not be on most people's roster guesses at this point but if he makes the team he may end up proving to be a guy meant to play with RNH. I don't know if anyone's built to fill the net quite like Puempel is at the junior level. In plain sight in Kitch right now too.
