Prospect Info: Prospect Challenge September 17th-19th

[Saxon Eric]

News of the roster is starting to trickle in so I figured it's time to put it in one spot.
Since most of our younger prospects are either in the NCAA or in that pipeline expect many invites from the CHL or current Providence Bruins
I have to assume Brett Harrison and Ryan Mast will be there

Some OHL training camps begin August 30th, but all of them will be up and running by September 4th. From what I have been told, Harrison will be there. Asked about Mast, but got no reply back yet.

Possible invites passed over in the draft:

Simon Motew - Defence - Kitchener
Ranvir Gill Shane - Defence - Ottawa
Braeden Kressler - Forwards - Flint
Stuart Rolofs - Forward - London
Avery Hayes - Forward - Hamilton

Then a bunch of others I wouldn't expect.

 

[Kegs]

Would be fun to watch.

 

[PlayMakers]

What channel is this on?

 

[Saxon Eric]

What channel is this on?

NESN of course, right after a Woo Sox double header...

Seriously, we'll have to watch the Buffalo and New Jersey stream

 

[KnightofBoston]

When are these games? I have to go back to work early so hoping they aren’t during the day

No schedule yet

 

[Saxon Eric]

Looks like they'll need at least 6 invites(Hudson already included),I'm
taking into consideration they'll likely be no unsigned Europeans there
Forwards
Filipe, Harrison, Voyer, Hudson, Lysell,McKinnon, Hall, Zumack
Tralmaks is a ?
Defense
Ahcan, Lyle, Greenway, Mast
Berglund?
Goalie
Keyser
Booth or Petruzzelli if he signs

Finally they could always ask Studnicka, Lauko, Vaakanainen and Koppanen to play in this thing but I'm hoping they don't

Not sure I'd be able to handle watching Vaakananinen half-ass it against teenagers.

I know but imo it's not a good look to have nearly 1/3 of the team not affiliated with it

Didn't they have 8 or 9 Invites in 2019? I seem to recall there were quite a few.

Petruzzelli apparently headed back to Quinnipiac for a 5th year, which means the Wings own his rights for another year now.

Ok
What's Taylor Gauthier up to these days?

Don't know. Will see what I can find when I get a chance.

Reed is on his hands and knees with his ear to the floor listening for a heard of GM's rushing to invite players from the OHL.

 

[UConn126]

Hoping Beecher can play. I believe he was in a non-contact jersey at development camp. Any news on him?

College prospects do not play in this tournament. It is considered part of training camp, whereas the summer session is not.

No USHL prospects play in this tournament? I didn't realize that Svedeback was playing for Dubuque this year.

They generally want to play NCAA, so they can't accept things like lodging, per diem, travel, etc from the team without losing eligibility.

Svedeback was on the roster for an SHL team last season, so I believe he's lost NCAA eligibility, but who the hell knows with their byzantine nonsense.

He was as was Malmstrom from D camp, I suspect they both were on Junior contracts so while they did play they weren't paid for it

That is correct x2

So, as of today, he is on Prince George's roster for the upcoming season. As an '01 birth date, he can return to the WHL for one more season. However, PC has 5 active '01's on their roster. That has to be down to 3 by October 2nd.

How do you get tickets for these games?

 

[yazmybaby]

Bummer the US border is not allowing us Canucks in, so I will not be attending the games in Buffalo.
Received my Hockey News 2021-2022 Pool Guide today, for what it is worth, here are their rankings for our top prospects from 1-10.
Stud
Beecher
Lysell
Swayman
Vaak
Hall
Berglund
Kuntar
Lohrei
Lauko

They have Swayman and Vaak as candidates for roster spots for this year.
Marchy is projected to get 100 points and Pasty 88, followed by Bergy at 66 and Hall at 61.
To my surprise, Cliffy lead the team in hits last year at 108, Ritchie second, Kuraly third, Lauzon and Wags.
Funny that 3 of the top 5 hitters are no longer on the team and Wags is on the bubble.
