I doubt Edstrom or Cullye play. Both are pros...
you may be right, but until stated otherwise, I fully expect Edstrom to participate
he's just 22 and beginning his first full NA season

the guidelines for who is included can be very fluid,
a few years back Devils dressed multiple guys, in mid-'20's with multiple NA pro seasons' experience, for a rookie game

and maybe not Cuylle, who was AHL all-star,
but I anticipate some guys who played their first full NA pro seasons last year to also be included
- Rempe, some/all of Trevigno, Henriksson, Scanlin, Lindbom, maybe even Garand

and Robertson, with 2 pro seasons' experience, but his last season ended early due to injury

Expect the roster by EoD, they gotta be having formal practices by tomorrow, if not today
And more than half league has already released rookie camp rosters

… Hoping for a better showing this year than the disappointment we had last year.
You’re just torturing yourself if you have different expectations than the players or staff. These are just meaningless scrimmages to be ice ready for full camp

RE THE 5 AMATEUR try-outs

2 were 2021 draftees not signed by drafting team,

D Ryan McCleary 20 (3 days ago) (Pitt, 194 OA) [son of Trent
overager but just traded to hometown Swift Current
"McCleary (6’3”/177lbs), a local Swift Current product, spent parts of the last four seasons with the Winterhawks, .. “We are excited to add Ryan to our group,” said Broncos General Manager Chad Leslie. “Ryans progression over the past few years has been impressive and we feel he is poised to have a career year at home.”

3 are Major Junior players passed over in 2023 draft
2 18-year olds
F Luke McNamara, 18, Saginaw OHL
D James Petrovski, 18, Owen Sound OHL

D Joe Arntsen, 20, WHL undrafted to NHL '21 '22 '23

Very odd that Cuylle is not on the roster. Maybe the Rangers expect him to make the Rangers??


Henriksson is on this roster.

Intrigued by Max McCue
Cuylle had an AHL AllStar season, and they have lots of Fs

Thought Emberson might not be here for this, after earning best defensive d for their division, but not many real prospect D, 3 tryouts and an AHL signee in this roster

or ... he'll be Ranger/NHL'er before and longer than any of the taller 'energy' guys
last season was just his age 21, and first NA season
rush to judgement of such young guys has never made sense to me
I hope you're right, but being small and slow isn't generally a recipe for success.

Somewhat surprised to see that Lindbom is just 23. Seems like he's been around so long that he'd bring the wife and grandkids to this thing.

Speaking of Othmann whether he makes the Rangers or gets sent to the Pack I expect he's going to play a fairly physical game. That's part of his package now. Anyone who's seen him in the two WJC's he's played or last year in the playoffs knows he hits a lot and he hits hard even for his bodyweight. He is very strong for his size.

I've seen a comparison of him to Dustin Brown and I think that's fairly close.
