Post-Game Talk: 2019 Development Camp

[Lindgren]

The roster for the camp, beginning tomorrow, has been released:

4 – Goaltenders: Arturs Silovs, Matthew Thiessen, Michael DiPietro & Jake Kielly.
8 – Defencemen: Brogan Rafferty, Ethan Frisch, Jett Woo, Josh Teves, Lucas Peric, Mitch Eliot, Paul DeNaples, Toni Utunen.
14 – Forwards: Adrian Elefalk, Aidan McDonough, Carson Focht, Darien Craighead, Ethan Keppen, Henry Bowlby, Jack Malone, Karel Plasek, Keegan Stevenson, Liam Finlay, Linus Karlsson, Nils Hoglander, Tyler Madden & Will Lockwood.

It's good to see that two college guys, Madden and Lockwood, will be there, but on the other hand Rathbone isn't on the list.

Any intel on the invites?

Does anyone know why Costmar isn't attending?

Outside of the Russians and Hughes, he's the only recent draftee not attending.

Edit: He was injured at the end of last season. That could be it.

The 5'11" and 181 lbs winger battled some injuries to close out the season, but is a high motor play that loves to make things happen.

Deep Dive: The New Guys

 

[Lindgren]

Adrian Elefalk, an invite from Sweden, has serious bloodlines. His grandmother, Ann Elefalk, is in the Swedish Bandy Hall of Fame.

17. Ann Elefalk

Also, his father is a hockey agent and happens to represent ... Loui Eriksson

Elefalk is my new favourite long-shot. (I wrote off Sacha Guimond a few weeks ago.)

 

[Lindgren]

Although Rathbone won't be there, another Harvard guy will: Henry Bowlby is entering his junior season for the Crimson.

Is it just me.. or this camp much earlier than usual?

I would think that with all the 2019 draftees already in town they pushed it up to just after the draft.

 

[Hansen]

Too bad Podkolzin won't be there. Would have loved to get a chance to see him even just in scrimmage.

I've read the same, so I believe that's correct.

- Stevenson was a 1st year draft eligible. Ranked 95th NA skater by CS. Brock from OHLProspects had him ranked 22nd out of OHL-eligible players.
- Peric was a 1st year draft eligible. Not ranked. Brock had him ranked 36th out of OHL-eligible players.
- Frisch was a 1st year draft eligible. Not ranked.

The open practices begin at UBC at 9:15 this morning. Anyone going?

 

[sting101]

why is Jet Woo not playing in scimmages?

 

[Lindgren]

why is Jet Woo not playing in scimmages?

My guess is that he hasn't sufficiently recovered from the torn meniscus he suffered at the end of the season.

Tomorrow will probably be the only day i go, and its only because i have to leave for my parkade cleaning. I prefer it held at Rogers more than UBC.

Not a very exciting roster, Hog and Malone are my biggest draws.

Detailed Feebster report incoming. Right? I said ... Right?

when will we ever get to see Woo compete in camp lmao

 

[lawrence]

Does it feel like woo is always injured ?

 

[DL44]

He IS supposed to be our Tanev replacement...

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Perhaps he'll never get the opportunity to woo us

 

[JimboA]

Also, his father is a hockey agent and happens to represent ... Loui Eriksson

Some other clients he has or has had include the Sedins, Alfie, Sundin, Kronwall, Backlund and non-hockey athletes like Fredrik Ljungberg and Mark Viduka. Adrian had a decent season but that's probably not the only reason he was invited

Early thoughts... Malone looks to have good size, but it may also be because he is always grouped with Hog/Lockwood/Finlay. He looks good in the drills. Madden still looks very thin, but still the best skater for the forwards.

Elefalk in the short time I watched him looks very rough, in terms of skating and puck control. Their group moved to the other end of the rink so I didn't pay too close of attention after the first part.

Hog flashed some skill. On the agility stop/start drills, he fell a couple times and had the coaches talking to him. Never really seen someone lower their bottom hand on their stick that low. Maybe two inches off the blade.

E: Keppen has beaten DiPietro clean top corner twice in the rush drills.

They've moved on to 2v2 rushes. Utunen made a great pokecheck on Hog and hit him in the corner. Hog recovered to find the puck and make a pass. Then on another rush Utunen blocked Lockwood's pass.

Elefalk might be the most talkative guy on the ice. He chats with everyone.

2v1 drills: Madden made a nice pass under a defenders stick. Make that two. Hog made a bar down snipe that drew cheers. Hog again with some cheers, he scored a backhand top shelf shot on silovs. It was quite nice.

I don't know if they are trying for headshots on the goalies but Silovs got one in the mask hard and knocked off his strap. He didn't look too happy. Then the next shot got DiPietro and the same thing happened.

Defenders only now. Teves is the smoothest skater here.

Terrific report. You didn't let us down.

 

[Gaunce4gm]

Any reports on how Toni Utunen has looked?

 

[carrotshirt]

Any news on... any players or events? Would like to know more about how these kids are developing!

 

[Hansen]

Will there be a live streamed scrimmage?

 

[Josepho]

Will there be a live streamed scrimmage?

I was looking for this but it seems as if they didn't actually have one. McDonough and Madden have already flown back to Boston.
