Main camp hasn't begun yet.. Grasshopper

If the Bulldogs can carry Antoine Corbin, I'm sure they can do the same for Beaudoin.

I'd still invite goutlet to the big camp. Like Monctonscout said, he's a lot younger than most there and if he shows the talent to be something.. You take an extended look because you don't want someone to take something you could have had for free.

Same reason I hope they monitor Gadoury close in Halifax..

It seems like undrafted 18 yo players have more opportunities than the drafted ones (who are stucked with the team that drafted them). I don't understand. They are like free agents at 18. There should be a rule stating that you should had completed your junior hockey undrafted before being able to offer your services or be signed by any teams.

They can't sign any of thoses 18 years old....The only opportunities the have is to go to an NHL camp and show what they're made of to have a chance to get draft next year.

RDS will also be streaming the main camp scrimmages (friday, saturday & sunday). Hopefully we get someone else than Gaston Therrien to commentate the games but that's probably wishful thinking

they are. later this afternoon.

So, why invite them to these camps ? Habs and other teams are spending money to bring them there... And another team might draft them and sign them later .

No. You can sign them up until 48 hours before the first regular season game. If nobody signs them then they go back into the draft next year.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I'm pretty sure we can sign goutlet but once the NHL regular season begins then he goes back into being draft eligible..

Correct?

I stand corrected

Thanks for the info!!!

So an undrafted 18 yo might have as good chances of being signed by a NHL team than a drafted one ? So why these 7 round drafts ? Let's do a two or three round drafts with obligation by a team to sign these kids, and just invite a bunch of others for tryout camps. The scouts would work their ass off to pick up the best.

Wonder what happened with the failed fitness test...injury or came in in bad shape? Wasn't clear from the tweet.

They are only free agents until the start of the season, plus, the odds are pretty long of a FA signing a contract if he wasn't among the top 210 draft eligible prospects this past year's draft. A few fall through the cracks but it's usually after a few years...

Yeah, you have to throw out about half of what he says due to bias and poor sources of info. He spends half the type hyping Quebec kids and the other half talking about guys that are very well known(Sekac Andrighetto DLR etc).

I'm pretty sure we can sign goutlet but once the NHL regular season begins then he goes back into being draft eligible..

Correct?

This is correct. Goulet would be eligible for the 2015 draft if the Habs don't offer him a contract.

Can you reply to his tweet and ask if it was injury related or fitness related?

He was out of shape or injured? I don't understand what that means...

no clue. I'll ask. Hopefully he replies since I only use my twitter to follow habs stuff.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I asked Jess rusnak on Twitter as well.. We will see.

If so....who's going on a wing ? Or they will give Galchy the whole camp to show his stuff at centre and decides at the end which other centre must nowplay on a wing or be traded if Galchy succeeds.

If Galchenyuk can handle the defensive responsibilities at C, that's where MTL would like to see him.

The complete interview with Bergevin will be on tsn.ca tomorrow morning, select clips will be on SportsCentre and That's Hockey tonight.

Desharnais on wing or traded for a winger.

... Or Plekky for a better return.
