Caps definitely dropped out, unfortunately. Apparently the reason was scheduling problems and a having drafted a bunch of college players who would have to pay their own way..

 

[Kitsune]

Hope Mussleman really impresses. He got a lifetime ban for a sucker punch in the playoffs in the OHL. The guy was back in the next game, and Mussleman gets the life time ban. As well, hope Beech does really well, could give him a boost heading into preseason...

Does anyone know anything about Brandon Roach? He's listed as in invite on Minnesota's team and he has some nice stats for a dman. Any insight?

Atlanta's prospect roster

Only the Wings haven't announced their roster but i think the hold up with the signing od Howard and once thats done it should be out.

 

[Belizarius]

Courchaine with the Wild?

I believed he was unsigned, but he's here without any mention of free agent tryout?

He has a good slapshoot probably the 2nd/ 3rd best on Lewiston Maineiacs behind Chad Denny and maybe Jonathan Paiement. Last year's big point production was because he had Picard and Bourret. I see him as a ECHL/AHL journeymen

Looks like you folks going to the tourney will see some good tilts. Alot of toughness will be on the ice during this tourney. (and of course the skilled).

 

[WILDTATE10]

The Wild have alot of good prospects playing for them. O'sullivan, Pouliot, Stoner, Voloshenko, thelen, Olvecky and courchaine.

I agree - Minny's never had that many good offensive players at one time.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Stoner, Thelen, and Olvecky CAN'T be really classified as offensive. Stoner is more of a defensive-defenseman, Thelen had a terrible year, I guess he is a bit offensive but Olvecky is a checking line guy...

Don't know what Musselman you were watching, because when I was watching him, I saw no more than a fourth line hack who could have barely made a Junior B team. The only reason he was on the team was because you had Foligno as a coach.

As for Beech, yes. I think he deserves a shot. Better goalie than Elechner. He sure made some big saves against Ottawa in the Playoffs.

My correction Brandon Roach's slapshot was recoreded at 97 mph at Lewiston's skill competition and is the fastest on team. Members on the Maineiac board corrected me.
