Yeeeesh. That defence is lacklustre at best. After Claesson, not much there. I'm not sold on Harpur.

Yeah the Sens don't have a lot of highly touted prospect Dmen, and I'm surprised Ceci wasn't invited given that I believe he still is eligible. The tourney is kinda played like a pond hockey tournament, not a lot of physical play and a few staged fights from enforcer types looking to get noticed.

Forward group is looking exciting though! Hopefully I can make it this year, had a great time last year.

Yeah, it's going to be nice to watch Paul and Guptill in action. Get to know the new guys more. I'm also a big fan of Dzingel, and it will be interesting to see McCormick too.

 

[operasen]

Nice to see the list out - sure sign of time getting closer.
Interesting to see how they line them up.

Hopefully they have a good showing. Pageau and Stone just dominated this tournament last year. Didn't matter if it was a PP, PK or at ES they had the puck in the offensive in creating scoring chances.

They probably feel that he is a lock for the NHL roster and therefore doesn't need to be there.

 

[the tribute]

Where's Wikstrand?

 

[Samsquanch]

No pageau, stone or ceci. They would have probably just dominated again, so it will be good to see who can step up here and shine. Could be some surprises.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Where's Wikstrand?

In Sweden. Their regular season will have started by the time this tournament is on. Ditto for Englund.

 

[Xspyrit]

How come we only have 2 D-men prospects playing?

I understand for Englund and Wikstrand, but what about the others?

Wideman and Sdao are too old? Boro and Ceci are NHLers? What about Gendron and Summers?

Where's Wikstrand?

SEL seasons starts earlier so Wikstrand and Enlgund aren't going to be there

Going NCAA route

Jakub Culek

 

[OttawaOilers]

Expecting Lazar to have a stellar showing.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

We're going to score a lot of goals.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Lazar has already won this torny seriously the guys got nothing left to prove!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Make him....prove.... he won it.

 

[ErikNorrisson]

Is this tournament usually televised?

 

[Caeldan]

Is this tournament usually televised?

I think it's been on the local Rogers channels in the past depending on location.
Since it's in London and advertised for Leafs fans - likely it'll only be the Leafs prospect games that end up on it.

I need to remember to look at getting tickets though, keep forgetting every time I get a reminder email.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Kopitar has already won the Stanley Cup, guess he's got nothing left to prove at the NHL level.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

In Sweden. Their regular season will have started by the time this tournament is on. Ditto for Englund.

How does Lindberg make time for it? Is it because he's not in the SEL?

 

[Grizz MacArthur]

How does Lindberg make time for it? Is it because he's not in the SEL?

Yep - he's decided to play for Oshawa in the OHL this season.

I think they televised them all the last couple of years.
