Still having hope for Leblanc. I just don't understand how he could downgrade from an actually good stretch in the NHL into abysmal AHL season.

Shouldn't this involve MacAuley, Duffy and the other one ?

So, Dea choose to attend our camp ?

Really great invitiation list. Trainor...of course....great invitation...:D Dea choosing our camp instead of the Pens....that's great, Murphy, both goalies in Cadorette and Guindon, Brouillard deserves an invitation too. Add McAuley and Duffy and Desjardins...surely the strongest invitation Q list in a while....Would love to see others from the rest of the world......so we'll see.

So my professionnal situation will see me be at the camp pretty often this week. Not sure I'll be there every day but we'll see. I'll have my reports immediately when I come back from it as I don't have the net on my phone.....

I guess parties & prisons in Ontario are not enough of a work out for Nathan. He'll need to flex some muscle with our younger prospects.

Just kidding I know Nathan is not a hockey goon or in an Ontario prison.

As I said in another thread, keep an eye on Maxime Gravel. I wouldn't be surprised to see his progression explode this season.

In fact, assuming that they all stay with the Rimouski Oceanic, Kostalek and Gravel could very well become the two best defensemen of the team, ahead of Morin (not comparing them since they play a different game). Yes, you can call me crazy but we'll talk again next year.

Kostalek is my pick for the steal of the draft, I couldn't believe he was picked only two picks before us in the 4th round.

Add Oligny. Still not sure if it's Jonathan or Jimmy. Strange that Ciampini wasn't invited...

Anyone care to give a quick scouting report on Trainor? I can read his stats but hardly watch junior hockey.

Nothing exceptional except the guy just finds the back of the net. Constantly. EXTREMELY opportunistic, but does create his chances. Great at finding the opening, just a very very good natural scorer.

Why he wasn't picked then? 'Cause most will believe that he will just be that.....a very good JUNIOR natural goal scorer. That because he doesn't have any other special trait, that he won't make it. Not big, not really fast, not incredibly physical, not your best defensive forward....the guy just....scores. Remains to be seen till which level he will be able to do it. The day he can't will be the end of his career. Yet....I just love the guy. And hope for the best for him.

That's about it. I'm not expecting anything. Actually, that camp is probably just a window for their ECHL career. Not sure if our ECHL coach will be there, but they could be serviceable. Don't expect anything else. At least, I'll reconsider after this week's camp.

thanks. I don't see much to get excited but free players are free. With Duffy, Dea and Andrighetto, Habs have many scoring leaders from the Q to evaluate.

Also, man, Habs love their small players.

Really looking forward to your reports. It would be great if a couple of these guys were better than some of our existing talent in Hamilton and if a couple of more were able to jump the the ECHL. Combined with the last two drafts, it could mean a huge jump in organizational depth.
