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.
You'd have thought we could have got a more interesting bunch of prospects in to give a go too given how we're blatantly looking to hand out contracts to kids to makeup for all the picks we trade away.
Yeah, but are there really that many intriguing camp invites out there? I don't really know what other team's invites look like.
What’s Robertson’s deal?
I don't know for sure without doing a lot of research, but I feel confident there's more than we've got at our camp. Or than we had at our camp last year. Two of the college guys we had in camp last year are on NHL deals already. I'd be surprised if that's the same with the college guys we have this time.
This is all based on stat watching and google mind, but they just don't look as impressive as the guys we had last year or the best college UFAs we see sign every year. Maybe there's some gems in the junior guys.
Yeah, last year was awesome, but it seems to me that was more an aberration than anything. Bellerive was a home run, for sure. I don't remember much of note from other camp invitees in previous years, but maybe I'm blanking.

Matt Murray, Team Murray, Sidney Crosby Steal Show
Few bits from Kingerski
And a puff piece on Zerter-Gossage
Harvard winger shows Penguins smarts, skill
Zerter-Gossage kinda sums up my irritation at their choice. It sounds like they think he's worth a contract, but being Ivy League will be going back to school. They knew that, so why a bunch of Ivy Leaguers who haven't finished?
Thinking outside the box. Other teams probably thinking the same but if we can get in early and they think this guy could be a regular NHL player it shows some goodwill.
Get him to enjoy penguins hockey and if he’s finished next year sign him up. I don’t mind it.
That's disappointing. I was hoping our staff could help him to put on some weight.Another puff piece on LZG, but mostly of interest for Bombulie's notes on the side. In particular, think that's the first deffo confirmation Almari's going back to Finland -
Meet the prospect who didn't want a contract offer at Penguins development camp
Is Zerter-Gossage gonna walk away from completing an Ivy League degree for a probably AHL career?
I'm thinking maybe its Roberts, maybe that he was the guy they had lined up at 7th before going "Naaaah".

Oh and more on Robertson...
He looks like an androgynous Beau Bennett.
