Lizotte played for my hometown NAHL team (right after I moved of course) so I’m rooting for him to have a good showing obviously, also hope we find a serviceable player, from what I’m reading from you guys it’s throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks

I know Carter Robertson. He was an easy ND for me.

Drawing a blank on this acronym. An easy what?

 

[Michael Farkas]

Sorry haven't snapped back to reality..."no draft"


"Dogs...to the layperson"

Is the 3 on 3 tourney worth attending? Was thinking of going after work tomorrow

I'm going to tell you Yes, particularly if you take lots of notes to share with us.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Yeah, real smart, Pens. "Hey, let's have the prospects play with axes!"

Have they not been paying attention?

 

[EightyOne]

They are just trying to find out who is ridiculous injury prone now, so they won't bother signing them. The Pens break even the most stalwart of player. No glass jaws allowed anymore.

No, it’s the other way around...they’re trying to find the most injury-prone so they can sign them—the perfect Pens player, will fit right in

Damn it. You are correct.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Sounds like Lauzon's been dealing with a neck injury all season long. That might explain his underwhelming numbers.

 

[The GM]

Yeah, real smart, Pens. "Hey, let's have the prospects play with axes!"

Have they not been paying attention?

No whiffle ball?

 

[Al Smith]

Sounds like Lauzon's been dealing with a neck injury all season long. That might explain his underwhelming numbers.

So the good news is he doesn’t really suck. The bad news is he’s like 19 or 20 with season long neck injuries.

 

[Andy99]

No whiffle ball?

Not dangerous enough...you can’t set yourself on fire or damage your spinal cord...

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Next year, there's talks of Russian Roulette.

 

[Peat]

Sounds like Lauzon's been dealing with a neck injury all season long. That might explain his underwhelming numbers.

On the one hand, yeah...

On the other hand, development wise, I'd probably rather he'd just had underwhelming numbers. I dunno how much that neck will mess with him next year.

Pens front office: "wait...we were supposed to leave only one chamber loaded...we left one chamber EMPTY..."

Is it just me, or is there a lot less write ups than usual?

I mean, sure, they are just doing drills so far. But usually you can at least find stuff like "player X has really good speed", or "player X just roofed 3 shots in a row, showing NHL shot already", or whatever tidbits it might be.

No one expects these guys to get to the NHL. There is less than zero interest in these prospects. Well...of the nearly 40 of em, maybe like 3 can. But, it wont be next year or the year after. No real bluechips at this point. It is hard to write about players who have so much growing to do still.

Yeah, there's usually more. Might be more on the 3v3 day.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

I don't know why but I am genuinely excited about Olund. I have a feeling about him. I think we will see him play some NHL games in 2018-19.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Fond memories of the time they made the nhl players carry big rocks up a hill... Letang got hurt before that part.

On the one hand, yeah...

On the other hand, development wise, I'd probably rather he'd just had underwhelming numbers. I dunno how much that neck will mess with him next year.

Yeah. A teenager having a season long neck problem makes me nervous for his health limiting him as a player long term and it’s lost him development time already.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Probably not but I like that gumption, kid.

It has to be the weakest development camp group in the league - our prospect pool is shallow to begin with and most of the interesting guys are either injured or have already graduated from this camp. Not a lot to write home about there.
