I'll repost this. Someone asked for a list of invites/etc.

Forwards:

• Nick Betz - Invite
• Reid Duke - Invite
• Gabriel Fontaine - NYR '16
• Tim Gettinger - NYR '16
• Maxim Lapierre - PTO
• Ty Ronning - NYR '16

Defensemen:

• Spiro Goulakos - Invite
• Garrett Noonan - Invite
• Sean Day - NYR '16

Goalies:

• Joseph Raaymakers - Invite

The rest, aside from the obvious NHLers, have AHL contracts.

This was just off of memory, so there might be some edits needed.

 

[Ori]

very excited!

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Wonder if Zibs will dress

You are correct on invites.

Interesting that they just had four invite defensemen as Traverse City and didn't invite any to the big camp. Looks like they were just taking up space at Traverse City. Goulakis and Noonan played in the EHL last year and appear to be bodies to fill out the roster. Goulakis was in prospect development camp a few years ago.

Interesting that Gabriel Fontaine was not at Traverse City and Brad Morrison was there but not at the big camp. Morrison only played in the first game at Traverse City so he may be hurt.

I think Betz and Duke get AHL deals. Raaymakers goes back to Juniors.

Other Ranger draft picks either are in Europe or in College and so would not he coming to this camp.

was about to add this, it echoes some of above

(deservedly) of the TC invites, only Betz, Duke and Raaymakers are invited to NYR Camp
(tbd whether others are invited to HWP Camp)

also 2 new D invites, Noonan and Goulakos,
both mid-20's after 4 year NCAA careers
both tryout defensemen shoot left,
Noonan graduated BU in '14,
Goulakos graduated Colgate in '15

also found this on Noonan
[*** addition: just noticed at Eliteprospects that Noonan wore the C at BU as SR, and A as Jr]

Talent Analysis

Noonan is a two-way defenseman that takes care of business efficiently in his zone but can also bring some offensive punch. He is a mobile, smooth skating defender and has a very good first pass, a hard accurate shot, and can operate the power play unit. After developing at the NCAA level he showed promise in his first pro season with AHL affiliate Milwaukee. Noonan's combination of skating ability with some offensive flair to his game make him an intriguing prospect.

Future

Noonan made steady progress with AHL affiliate Milwaukee in his first pro season and will look to build on that progress in 2015-16. He will compete for one of the final defense slots with the Predators in training camp but will likely spend all or most of the upcoming season with the Admirals. Talent-wise, he projects to being a two-way defender capable of supplying some offense from the blue line.

Does Garrett Noonan have any relation to Ex-Ranger Brian Noonan who's also from Boston?

No, but he played at BU, so there's your Steve Greeley connection

Same with Oksanen, who may be re-habbing, as is Lindberg

 

[Ori]

Tanner Glass will compete for the 4th line role for sure - maybe it`s hard to see an energic 4th line without him?

 

[Boruto]

Can't wait to hear from Alan Vigno tomorrow. It's been a long long summer. I am going to hate listening to him though.

Anyway, I should get some rest, `til later.. ))

If he doesn't get waived or traded I will eat my shorts

It's a lock this year given all the bodies unless like 3 go down with injury

I hope your shorts taste good...

 

[Irishguy42]

Pirri will wear #73

 

[Levitate]

Rangers have enough depth that Glass should not be a regular in the lineup. That said, I can see them carrying him as a 13th forward because AV is like that and they have the cap space to do it at the moment.

If they didn't have other options I can see him spare but unless they trade a guy it's hard to fathom

I know AV loves the guy but they did waive him last year

 

[Irishguy42]

Do we know if it will be just AV speaking? Anything from Gorts? Players?

 

[Irishguy42]

Rangers website only has AV listed as available to speak to media. I guess you never know now that Cerney is gone. I wonder who will be interviewing the players during training camp now. Hopefully not John Giannone.....

I think it'll be the other guy Cerny was working with, Matt Calamia. He was writing all the BSU articles after Cerny left, so I assume he'll be doing all the interviews as well.

 

[GordonGecko]

We still need a big trade for help on defense

 

[Made Dan]

Glad to know already that an actually skilled NHL player will be punted to accommodate Tanner. Bet those defenders are already ******** bricks!

If that quote is sarcasm, than I'm a mook. But will probably be the case regardless.

 

[Tawnos]

I love how short people's memories are. AV isn't going to give Glass a spot on this roster just because. That's why he ended up in Hartford last season. If the players who are supposed to be better than him actually play better than him, then Glass won't be here.

[Infinitum Vitae*]

I want one!!!

yes he is
