Isn't it usually at UBC?

 

[DCantheDDad]

I cannot believe how close we are to the start of the season. I can't wait.

#Canucks Benning says 2 open spots at main camp (beyond the players under contract) up for grabs for those who stand out in Penticton

Benning says the Canucks may consider bringing a veteran to camp on a PTO, depending on injury status of Cole Cassels

Edit: I just noticed that Horvat and Jensen aren't on the list of confirmed forwards going to training camp. I thought they would be guaranteed a spot.

Benning just dropped some Britany Spears on them. If they want spots: You gotta work *****

 

[Canucks LB]

No way Horvat and jensen wont make camp. That would be a giant **** show, no matter how bad they have been

 

[NuxFan09]

Either way, the Canucks really just need some young players to step up for pete's sake. Time for one of these kids to actually impress.

 

[Seattle Totems]

Only two spots open for youngstars? Wasn't it Benning himself who said you couldn't evaluate much about a prospect from this tournament?

Good to know that the organization is giving a free pass to the AHL bubble players and 4th line plugs that were acquired over the summer but have no space to invite their actual prospects. Way to go there. Change it is!

Doesn't that basically imply that those under contract are given a "free pass" to main camp?

Horvat and Jensen are both under contract, of course they'll be there.

Not sure why everyone is freaking out about this...

Two spots is all that most teams have available.
Frankly I'd be thrilled if two rookies play themselves onto the team.

That's the way I take. So Valk and someone else, yes?

 

[Taelin]

Subban? Doesn't have a contract yet. Unless they mean PTOs.

 

[Nuckles]

Not sure why everyone is freaking out about this...

Yeah, I guess so. They also don't have Corrado listed on the training camp roster. Not sure why they did that...

 

[Domecile]

Valk and Humphries my best bet.

High 1st round picks are given opportunities others aren't. That's just the reality of the situation.

 

[Luck 6]

You'd think Valk would be there. At age 21, he should be getting a shot.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

Valk and Humphries my best bet.

Humphries sucked against the Jets. Got walked repeatedly

 

[Szechwan]

Seems pointless to bring Subban or Humphies though, they haven't shown anything to lead us to believe they'll be more than a pylon at main camp. Valk looks ready to make somewhat of an impact, not sure who else falls into that category.

 

[Bgav]

People should learn to take a second before freaking out for no reason

 

[TheWanderer]

Not Tryamkin or Hutton? Boo-urns.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Not Tryamkin or Hutton? Boo-urns.

Tryamkin=KHL
Hutton=NCAA

 

[TheWanderer]

Tryamkin=KHL
Hutton=NCAA

I thought NCAA players could attend training camps for some reason.

I know Tryamkin cant. Still, boo-urns. I wanna see the guy play in small ice.

Valk is the only one worth persisting with because it is either AHL or nothing, so see how he handles the pro game is worth doing before offering a contract.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Valk deserves an invite, IMO. I'd kind of like to see Utica extend him an offer so we can see what he's got in the AHL (maybe let him and Shinkaruk try to work up a bit if Medicine Hat Mojo?)

Of all the invites in Penticton, the only other one who merits a longer look is Lotz, IMO. The others all ranged from "meh" to "horrid".

EDIT: Also - I think it's a given our high value prospects are getting brought to main camp (Jensen, Gaunce, Horvat, Shinkaruk, etc)
