"All three games will be broadcast live on penguins.nhl.com with Josh Getzoff handling play-by-play duties. Michelle Crechiolo and the Pens' social media team will be on hand to provide coverage all weekend."

****ing thank god.

Bengtsson is also on the roster, that's a big deal actually. No one even knew if he'd be able to play hockey again due to his illness.

 

[Andy99]

So excited to see Bengtsson! And live stream! Awesome. Most of the prospects I wanted to see are there including Tiffels. Johnson...

No Jarry, Gustavsson or Maguire at camp. Both goalies are FAs.

Jarry has participated in those things for years at this point, he doesn't have anything to gain from going this year. Gustavsson's season starts soon and I think he might be playing for Sweden's U20 team right now too. I'm not sure what's going on with Maguire, I would have thought he would be there. He's also 24 though, so there's that.

I'm not suprised Jarry isn't going he's basically NHL ready and got nothing to gain.

The Swedish League premiers the 16th of september. And since both Gustavsson and Olund are gonna play there i dont think they wanna send them to the rookie tournament.
Guess their teams rather have them for some last pre-season games instead.

Any of the invitees that are interesting? Some of them were at the dev.camp, so might be interest from the pens side?

 

[wej20]

Sprong, ZAR, Blugers and Johnson should all stand out. Bengtsson potentially but he's had a long time off.

Holy hell, Johnson is 6'0" and 155 lbs. That has to be a typo, there's no way that can be true.

Our army of little wee forwards grows stronger. Thank goodness we got ZAR.

I remember the Arizona Coyotes being highly impressed with Spinozzi. He's good defensively and actually improved offensively the last few seasons.

Miletic might earn a contract as well.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I'm really happy for Bengtsson.

Jordy Bellerive has good numbers and I think this was his first year of draft eligibility.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

From the OHL prospect blog :

Sarnia's Kevin Spinozzi should be a really intriguing player to NHL teams IMO. He has size, plays well at both ends, and made great strides this year. A very underrated player who did a good job of 'somewhat' shutting down Connor McDavid in round one of the playoffs.

Seem to recall people saying D'Orio was an interesting prospect in the Development Camp thread. He and Bellerive, Miletic and Volcan were all at Development camp - reckon they're fitting up Bellerive, D'Orio and Volcan as potential draftees next year. Miletic maybe playing for a AHL contract?


Also, really exciting to see Bengtsson suiting up again. Fingers crossed.

I've seen enough. He's got the name and a youtube clip. Get this kid a Wheeling Nailers jersey.

they are all 23-24 years old (except Sprong) so they better stand out if they think NHL

Thanks, will watch the Boston and New Jersey game. I'm guessing Sprong/ZAR/Blugers will only play 2 games each.

He's bulked up. In the Hockey News Yearbook, he's listed at only 146 lbs. It seems he's basically built like a runway model.
