Early September probably?

Remember when Mark Giordano attended our camp on an ATO and we didn’t sign him? Good times.

Just to be clear. We can’t test them but we can bring them in to a rookie camp where they are tested. Clear as mud.

First, I plead ignorance. How does this "invite to rookie camp" work? I guess I'm assuming none of these kids have been selected by an NHL team. Please educate me. TYIA

Not drafted yet.

its NHL training camp experience so they benefit by getting a better understanding of what they have to do training wise to progress to be an NhL player.

usually teams do it to balance camp so they can scrimmage. A couple of spots. When u invite 10+ kids how is this not scouting for the upcoming drafts? Essentially what we were just fined for. I’m not being critical of AZ here. I think it’s a great idea.

Tyler Johnson as well.

I think we can only bring these guys in because they went undrafted. Anyone who is first time eligible for the 2022 draft cannot attend.

That’s right. First time draft eligibles can’t do ATOs. Not even sure if D+1 kids can? Is it just kids who are eligible to sign AHL/ELCs already?

Tyler Johnson as well.

Yep. What an organization. Lol

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Yep. What an organization. Lol

We also had the first look at Mangiapane and I remember calling him out as one of the best players during the sessions, but we missed the boat on that one as well.

I think any undrafted CHL players after their first year of eligibility can receive camp invites (which I think are separate from ATOs), but that's based on some old information that may not reflect the current bargaining agreement.

I can never keep any of it straight.

By the time I get something figured out, they change the rules.

That's JC's excuse.

We weren't the only organization that missed on these two. It happens. Like I said before, it's easy to sit back after the fact and complain and point out what went wrong. Hindsight is great.

Tyler Johnson as well.

Ironically Tampa signed Johnson while Johnson was attending Minnesota’s prospect camp as an invitee.

David Jesus as well from the Oshawa Generals. Our savior.

Are we allowed to sign any of these guys or are they just there to have enough bodies and to get a look at guys of interest?

I think only veteran players on a Professional Try Out (PTO) can be signed. Haven't been able to verify that tho.
