PTO: NHL Training Camp Invites and Rosters

[WhatTheDuck]

Waste of a PTO. Guys a loser.

Seriously when you're brought in to help Dorsett with fighting & then go to the media & say that our young guys (speaking of McCann) need to defend themselves I think it speaks to his character. Never mind the part where he was a healthy scratch vs the Rangers only to whine about it & take Virtanen's spot that night.

Clearly you're too bitter to understand that there is no wasting a PTO on a pro hockey player. It's a camp invite, not a contract.

 

[Mad Brills*]

With the world cup taking guys for the majority of training camp and the preseason, teams needs bodies to fill the requirement of veterans in a preseason game + roster spots gone.

The leafs are missing 7 players due to the world cup in camp.

And 4 forwards.

Every year this happens.

I don't understand why Rangers invite Lappy which has no use for them meanwhile Wiz gets a PTO with TBL. Someone is sleeping at the wheel in NY.


I loved Prust as a NYR! Rangers 4th line hasn't been the same since he and Boyle are gone.

Yup, Prust was a terrific 4th liner with the Rangers and the Habs. But you know, you can't play that kinda game for 10+ years. He was done 2 years ago. I really really liked him though

I'm very aware how PTOs work thank you. Enjoy having him around your team's youth.

No harm at all in offering a PTO. PTO does not equal a contract afterall. Last year the Leafs had Setoguchi in camp, and I am not entirely sure if he still had his PTO before the Leafs plane left Nova Scotia .

I'm not a Leafs fan, just find it hilarious when people whine about someone getting a camp invite.

With Hunter getting a promotion he's going to make sure the Leafs sign that former London Knight Prust.

Wasted time

Ripping on a former NHL player getting a PTO is a waste of time. Teams have to dress a certain number of NHL veterans for exhibition games, adding guys like this on a PTO means they have the flexibility to use their roster guys as they see fit. They get a guy who will go out there and stand up for their rookies in an exhibition game or two if needed, nothing to get all up in arms about whatsoever.

Nouveau venu avec les Saguenéens, Ryan Verbeek ne vivra pas un, mais deux camps d'entraînement lors des prochaines semaines. L'attaquant de 20 ans a été convié au camp du Lightning de Tampa Bay le mois prochain.

«Ils ont plusieurs joueurs qui seront du tournoi de la Coupe du monde en septembre. Ils ont donc invité plus de joueurs que la normale, mais ça reste quand même une très belle opportunité», a partagé Verbeek qui a reçu la confirmation officielle lundi. Il n'en sera pas à une première expérience professionnelle puisque l'an dernier, il avait participé au camp des Sabres de Buffalo.

Translation :
Chicoutimi Sags newcomer, Ryan Verbeek will have a busy schedule this fall. The 20-year old forward, who was recently acquired from the Kingston Frontenacs, will attend Tampa Bay's camp next month.

"TB has many players going to the World Cup in September so they decided to invite more players than usual. Nevertheless, it's still going to be a great opportunity" said Verbeek who received the news on Monday.

It's a second pro experience for Verbeek who participated to Buffalo's camp last season.


Verbeek will be joined by fellow Ontarian and teammate Mark Bzowey at Tampa Bay's camp.

L’Ontarien Mark Bzowey a convaincu le Lightning de Tampa Bay de lui offrir une chance de montrer ce qu’il pouvait faire avec un club professionnel. Le joueur d’Oakville, qui a obtenu quatre points en 19 rencontres avec les Sags l’an dernier, juge que ce camp sera une belle opportunité pour lui. «J’ai travaillé fort tout l’été!», a-t-il commenté.

The diminutive forward combined for 6 points in 27 games between Kitchener and Chicoutimi last season.

Caley, are you surprised no camp roster yet? I know camps are one week later but last year I looked the first one was out Aug 6th!

Yeah, I'm kinda staggered that there hasn't even been one rookie roster released yet. Unless, teams didn't want to have it upstaged by the Olympics, I'm honestly baffled.

 

[PrOuLx]

it's also weird that only Mirtle announce NHL's PTO.

Wasted time

Well not really, because worst case management gets to see how the young players handle playing with and against players like Prust, best case he makes the team and does well (which isn't out of the question, look at Stempniak...or more relate-able, Scottie Upshall)

I'm afraid Brandon Prust's get up and go has got up and went.

But he does fill out a mean sweater!

Looks like the Lightning will announce details for their training camp soon.

He just missed his best friend Ott by a few months

Find it funny that guys like Weber who are dealt for a pick can't get work the next year

Guys like spaling , shepherd , etc had some value to a team them next year pto or Europe

It shows that team's pro scouting is not up to par at times.
