[The Nightman]

Thanks for the info. Hopefully there is going to be a way to watch this somehow, I think it was on Rogers TV last year IIRC.

 

[Treb]

I guess they liked McCool (or need more evaluation of him) if he indeed gets invited.

Palmu, McDonald (Grant hype), Fortier and Bobyk gathered interest from some poster too.

Would be nice to get some more McNiven-like free pick.

 

[Deebs]

Will these games be shown somewhere....Web cast?

 

[Treb]

If I'm still jobless, I kinda wanna go to that. 51$ for all 3 Habs game (or 87$ the whole tournament).

I do hope I'm still not jobless by then though

 

[Habernack]

oh its going down. I love when the things like this happen somewhat near me. Will def be checking out at least 1 game.

 

[Agalloch]

Hayden McCool could be signed and he plays for Windsor. We could have 3 prospects going to the Memorial Cup this year.

 

[NobleSix]

I will be attending this year again.

Now now, you should know where your real priorities lie. Writing some tournament reports obviously comes first .

 

[S Bah]

Sure would like to see the rookies team, play a line with Connor Crisp(LW/C) - Nikita Scherbak(C/RW) - Mike McCarron(RW/C) with a defence pairing of Brett Lernout(RD) & Philip Samuelsson(LD) with either Michael McNiven or Zach Fucale in goal. Playing these players together for a couple of games, to see if they can find some chemistry. If they do have chemistry? Imagine how great they would be after a season, good enough to be an NHL 3rd or 4th line bringing energy, scoring & physicality during long playoff series possibly?

 

[montreal]

I would think McCarron stays at Center but not sure about Scherbak if he will stay at Center or go back to RW or even LW since they had him there a few times. If they move Scherbak to the wing, then perhaps he would be on a line with McCarron. I would put Reway with McCarron.

Connor Crisp is barely an AHLer, I doubt he would be ready to be an NHL bottom 6.

[Whitesnake]

No Duke? Pretty Surprising for me. Thought he'd had a contract, now now even an invitee while others like Eansor, Fiore, McCool and Palmu were....

Was Duke signed somewhere else?

 

[Shaw65]

 

[Shutdown]

Wasn't expecting Henrikson to make it out here for rookie camp.

 

[Whitesnake]

Palmu might be the most intriguing name that is coming back. But that's it. Fiore could be a depth borderline AHL'er...

 

[Game]

Lehkonen-Reway-Scherbak
McCool-Audette-McCarron
Addison-Gregoire-Bitten
Pezzetta-Bradley-(extra)

Sergachev-Johnston
Mete-Lernout
Parisi-Juulsen
(Extra)

Lindgren/Fucale

I want to see that first line terrorize opposing teams!
Also, really looking forward to watching Bitten!

 

[417]

McCarron 6'6 237lbs...jeez

 

[Whitesnake]

Wasn't expecting Henrikson to make it out here for rookie camp.

Good point. I would have hope that Henrikson would have been picked in the CHL import draft.

 

[Deebs]

McCarron 6'6 237lbs...jeez

Didn't he drop a bunch of weight...he weighed this a couple of years ago. Looking at some of the other guys, it seems like they're using old measurables.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Man I'm SO looking forward to watching some Habs prospect action .

 

[Adam Michaels]

Excited Lehkonen will take part. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't there a chance he was going to miss out on this due to SHL commitments and that he'd only take part in Habs' main camp? Either way, can't wait for this tournament. So many prospects intrigue me.

 

[LePoche69]

Are the Habs rookies enlisted in a rookie tournament?
