Confirmed with Link: Development Camp Roster

[AllAboutAvs]

Thank god we won the cup. Imagine if we’d lost the final and this was the future?


We did win so fortunately idgaf about this sad collection of “prospects”

And here is why it is important to choose the right time to go for it. Often times teams try to go for it too early and they end up with nothing. Starting a couple of years ago there were quite a few people that were saying Sakic should have made certain moves to go for it. We could argue that if he did we would have been in the situation you are talking about but a year or two earlier. IMO Sakic was smart to wait for the moment he was most confident the team would win. We can also argue that he not only waited for the right moment but he also did it in a way that we could have multiple runs at the SC as well.

"The future is bright"

Lol no, there's literally 1 NHLer on that list and 1 future NHLer. The rest are nothing.

Maybe they meant the next Stanley Cup we will win not the prospects

They are doing the smart thing and picking up some undrafted guys that may end up being depth players with these invites. There's some talent on there and it may end up paying dividends if this is how they fill out the system.

McLennon and Cotton both entered the draft again after being taken in 2020 by Philadelphia and Detroit and went undrafted.

 

[Freedom Elz]

Meyers, Ambrosio, Buyalsky, Behrens, and Zhuravlyov will be a few guys to keep an eye on.

Wonder if Danila has an outside shot at making the roster if he balls out in the camp/pre-season process.

Ambrosio is not a prospect, too small and soft.

 

[Richard88]

A line of Ambrosio (5'8") - Nagy (6'6") - McClennon (5'8") would be hilarious

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Behrens is the only one worth a damn.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Mcclennon is an interesting add. Good spot by the Avs brass

 

[tigervixxxen]

The only entertainment factor is a lot of these guys have never been to an Avs camp. Otherwise this is a very irrelevant bunch of players. Meyers has to do his duty as a prospect, there’s always one that’s so obviously tasked with being the leader. I’ll go and see what they look like live but there’s really not much to expect.

 

[MaKarter]

Are they coming to Fort Collins again? Or is that not a thing anymore?

No, they are doing the game at FSC which they have not bothered to advertise yet but it’s Thursday night at 6pm.

I'm a pretty big fan of Borgesi... he won't get signed here, but he could be a guy down the road to watch. I think he's going to excel in college big time and reward somebody for taking a chance on a tiny defensemen. Slight chance he's Perunovich 2.0.

Cotton is likely a guy who ends up in Loveland. He broke out in a big way in his +1 year (IIRC led WHL defensemen in scoring), but just never took a step further than that. Not a great skater, not real smart either... but can contribute in the AHL now and might have a bottom pairing extra D future.

McClennon has a good shot at being a AAAA player, hope he finds his way in the org.

Roersma is probably my favorite invite. Kid has a fantastic shot, plays with energy and pace, good (not great) skater, plays a heady 2 way game. I expect that he'll impress in this camp. Should have been drafted.

The opinion among most of us seems to be that Weiss will go unsigned. Does his presence at development camp change that opinion for anyone, or is his invitation just a formality?

It is likely an evaluation of where he is at. He can still go back to college for a Covid year, but I have my doubts he will. I think odds are higher he gets an AHL deal, which could easily be with the Avs.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Pretty sad list. Meyers is the only future NHLer in that group. Though I am curious about Stienburg. He's the one other guy I think could surprise.

Behrens and Roersma will be NHLers.

 

[Pokecheque]

Where did they even find these goalies?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Stieny will could end up a Josh Anderson or he could end up an Andreas Martinssn. He’s a manchild. I just hope he can continue to polish the offensive side of the game.

Shane is Cornell, so the guy who spells his name wrong got him here via scouts keeping an eye on the team. Geisel is in town for DU, so easy guy to bring in. Rowe is an odd one...

 

[AvsFan2123]

I thought there was a rumor floating around the Avs we’re going to sign Stienburg? They ended up signings Betts to an AHL 2-way I believe but idk if that ended or runs thru next year. I assume the plan is for him to go back and sign him after this year?

There was curiously a Stienburg Eagles jersey up for auction so they must have thought there was a chance. Didn’t see him in the group practice later on today tho, not sure what’s up.

 

[EXTRAS]

really couldnt believe when philadelphia didnt give mcclennon a contract. hope he does well here and yanni gourdes himself into something here.

 

[RockyMtnRedhawk]

Any pics from camp? Seems like other teams have put the sponsorship logos on their practice jerseys. Curious how bad ours look.

What's the main warts to his game? Looks like he was getting 3rd line minutes so that explains the production to an extent, but I guess most scouts didn't think he has enough talent/offense that will translate to a NHL level?
