2014-15 Training Camp

[YWGinYYZ]

With training camp about to start on Thursday, thought it might be useful to have a thread devoted to the goings on. We're getting posts discussing it in other threads - drop your thoughts here instead!

Some things I'll be interested in following:

• How much is Maurice going to ratchet up the intensity?
• Kane and Perreault - do we see them doing line rushes together?
• Who slots next to Scheifele?
• Petan and Ehlers - which line might they land on?
• Hutch and Pavs - got the popcorn ready.
• 4th line logjam - Klingberg, Thorbs, Slater, Galiardi, etc.

What are you looking forward to seeing or stories you want to see played out?

WOOT! TC FTMFW!

I'm gonna try and get out to Iceplex to see some of the camp this year. Interested to see if there's anything notably different from last year's...

Maybe see a fist fight between Kane and Wheels!

5 on 5 scrimmage now. 1st time I've seen that here.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Players who aren't here today

Enstrom
Galliardi
Perreault
Ladd
All the young stars.

I don't know who #49 is.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Buff is playing F.

Kane scored a goal already.

Any early indications of line compositions? Or are they just doing drills now?

Skating passing drills to start.They ran a full 5 on 5 scrimmage for 20 minutes or so. The lines changed every shift. Eakin and 2 other non Jets are here also. I wouldn't read too much into combos. Some players are taking shootout practice on Danny Taylor now.

For some reason I have a lot of the same feelings, emotions and positive vibes that I had way back heading into the 2005-06 season pre-Jets, as a Canes fan. I felt strongly about that Canes team in that they would be a good team that year, and I have similar feelings now, oddly . I think the bulk of it is the aura of the team surrounding it's head coach (Peter Laviolette back then for me), Maurice today.

No, I do not believe we're going to win the Stanley Cup, but I am interested in seeing how this goes, I feel we could surprise many this year, I feel pretty excited about our team. For some reason.

 

[SensibleGuy]

I've had that thought in the back of my mind too Guerzy. Ftmp, I'm not real optimistic about our prospects this year. But I'm hoping to be surprised...and for some reason I think there's a chance I might be.

They will probably be there tomorrow.

Thursday will be downtown I would guess. I believe the team will announce the TC schedule later today. Saturday is fanfest at the iceplex.

wait our captain isn't here but Kane is? I feel this storyline should spiral out of control. Make it happen media.

my thoughts exactly.

Given their veteran and contract status with the team, its really safe to assume that Perreault, Buff, Slater and Thorburn are guaranteed spots. That leaves 2 open roster spots plus one forward in the press box - so a total of 3.

These are the guys competing for those spots:

Tangradi (1 way)
Peluso (1 way)
Halischuck (2 way) *200,000 AHL Salary
Galiardi (2 way) *200,000 AHL Salary
O'Dell (2 way) *100,000 AHL Salary
Klingberg (2 way) * 75,000 AHL Salary
Petan (ELC)
Ehlers (ELC)

If you're like me and you don't think the Jets enjoy burning money, then that means that Tangradi and Peluso will likely take up 2 of those 3 spots (assuming they aren't traded)

That leaves the other 6 to compete for the remaining open spot. Who wins?

They are doing photoshoots on 2 of the other rinks today

Hey Aavco...you seem to be in the know and around the team a lot. Whats the deal? Are you independently wealthy? Staffer? Are you in fact, Chevy (awkward for me, if you are Chevy )?

 

[Gump Hasek]

BTW no sign of Perreault so Kaner hasn't met his future centerman yet

You should look first at the links you post.

Am guessing they've already met.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

YA!

Sports!

WHOOOOO!

My ranking, in order of my perceived likelihood:
Galiardi
O'Dell
Halischuk
Ehlers (kid really needs to impress)
Klingberg
Petan

Klingberg and O'Dell need to clear waivers, which probably works against Ehlers. if he stays (even for the 9 games) they are definitely sending a guy down who might not clear. Based on the same logic, Petan's got no shot

I didn't see him there. He didn't skate today.

 

[AlphaLackey]

My ranking, in order of my perceived likelihood:
Galiardi
O'Dell
Halischuk
Ehlers (kid really needs to impress)
Klingberg
Petan

I'd agree with Galiardi being a lock (looks like a really poor signing otherwise) and O'Dell (he's earned the shot) but I can see Klingberg ahead of Halischuk in the press box to start the year as the 13th forward. Honestly, I can see him ahead of Thorburn but Chevy and I don't always agree on things.

I think with the "slow and steady" Mr. Day Off at the wheel, no way that either Ehlers or Petan get rushed into the lineup.

There's no conspiracy here. I live 5 minutes from the iceplex. I am retired so I do have lots of free time

Good to hear. What a fantastic way to enjoy retirement. Thanks for all the updates.
