Prospect Info: 2018 Tampa Bay Lightning Rookie Camp

[Stormbreaker]

Volkov of the 3 is probably best suited for top 6 minutes. I wouldn't mind seeing one of Joseph/Stephens play with Cirelli until Cally is ready to return from his injury.

Tammela and Somppi together, which fits how I'm thinking the Orlando affiliation shakes out. (they wouldn't play together all the time in Orlando, but at least start building that chemistry now)

Barre-Boulet, Colton, Fortier is going be an interesting line.

 

[Stormbreaker]

I want that shirt.

That top-six looks pretty awesome.

Cernak looks solid as hell in that pic. Would love to see him make the team. It would make some of our decisions next year a whole lot easier to have him as a second year NHLer.

Is Tolvanen playing for them? If so that's the player to watch out for besides him their prospects aren't anything special especially with Fabbro not thier since he's in college.

WTF ... Joe Smith reports Stephens, Joseph, and Volkov will not play in the rookie tournament.

From www.theathletic.com:

With the rest of the Lightning prospects hustling in and out of the shower and onto the bus to Estero Saturday afternoon, forwards Mitchell Stephens and Mathieu Joseph took their time in their locker stalls.

They weren’t going anywhere.

Stephens, Joseph and fellow wing Alex Volkov will not be participating in the rookie tournament at Germain Arena when Tampa Bay faces Nashville Sunday (1 p.m.) and Washington Monday (10 a.m.); both games will be streamed on tampabaylightning.com. It’s not surprising. They’re the top returning forwards from AHL Syracuse, veterans of these types of camps. And with a rookie roster five-lines deep, there was no need for them to risk injury in back-to-back games".

WTF ... Joe Smith reports Stephens, Joseph, and Volkov will not play in the rookie tournament.

The only reasonable excuse I can think of. Is that they are a shoe in for making the Bolts. Don't want them to get hurt. I was really sad reading this, was excited to see Volkov.

There's no way all 3 are making the lighting roster opening night. This is rookie camp and they played a full pro season and playoffs already. There's nothing to evaluate with them in a game so no need to risk an injury. We need to see how some of these other kids are looking as they aren't sure if they'll be in the AHL or ECHL or even back to junior. I expect Joseph, Stephens and Volkov to get an extended look with the big club to see which one fills in for Callahan to start the year and see if one can beat out Erne for another spot.

Unfortunately, it's restricted to the Lightning TV market...

 

[Felonious Python]

1:01pm. Stream is live. Orlando getting the game.

 

[Werewolf]

WTF ... blocked in Tampa.

 

[Brie]

I'm watching the game here in Sweden. Though I can only watch it on my phone.

 

[JFleegs]
