Prospect Info: In the System Part VII (Preds Prospect/Minor League Talk)

[TitansVolsPreds615]

Tolvanen moved to Jokerit 1st line

 

[Prins Filip]

According to some top 50 -ranking for dmen posted in the prospects board, we have three prospects good enough to fit that list (Fabbro, Girard, Carrier).

It is pretty awesome considering that 14 months ago we considered that there were nothing coming up in the pipeline in regards of future NHL defensemen.

Fairly sure that we'll find Farrance in there soon too.

Wonder when Preds will release the Rookie tournament roster since Tampa and Florida have already released theirs.

Huh. Was looking forward to seeing who we invited but don't really recognize anyone except Kelleher.


Thomas Willis said on Twitter that the current plan is to stream the Rookie tournament as well as home pre-season games which is nice.

 

[triggrman]

very few forward prospects coming to rookie camp.

yup, but not much you can do when most of them play NCAA or European leagues.


will be nice to see Koltygin and Paquette in action and see what they can do though.

 

[PredsV82]

I see where Oligny is invited to camp. Didn't he play pretty well for the Ads? Any thoughts as to whether he's good enough for a contract for the Preds? Or do we have too many blue chip D prospects coming soon?

Personally, I think he gets squeezed by the number of Preds prospects and doesn't see much playing time with the Ads. I really hope that's not the case, but there's a lot stacked up against him.

Unless of course, we can trade Granburg and his 1-way contract, but I don't see anyone taking that.

Here's the problem. People should be saying; 'our defenseman pipeline sucks...right now!' Development and time solves all problems

Rookie tournament may have to be cancelled cause of Hurricane Irma. Plan was to have it in Estero, Florida.

weren't there actually not going to be very many true Preds prospects playing?

Paquette, Koltygin, Pettersson, Trenin, Moy, Richard, Allard, Carrier, Dougherty and Lyytinen were the only ones supposed to attend that are drafted by Preds.

It is now

 

[NSH615]

I don’t know why they couldn’t have moved it to DC or Nashville.

 

[SauceMyBiscuit]

I don’t know why they couldn’t have moved it to DC or Nashville.

Well Florida might be delayed flying back

 

[PredsV82]

I don’t know why they couldn’t have moved it to DC or Nashville.

that's a lot of logistics(where will the players stay, is the rink even available, etc) to change on a couple days notice

 

[triggrman]

Yeah, good luck finding empty hotel rooms in Nashville, especially for that many people.

Looks like they partially did.

 

[triggrman]

That couldn't be easy. I talked to a guy last week that runs the Embassy Suites in Murfreesboro, he said they were 97% booked for the reminder of this football season.

Maybe they're staying at Chrisman Motel or splitting with Safari Inn and Knights Inn lol

They're rookies, making them camp at a KOA for "bonding experience".
