2015 CBJ Training Camp Thread (9/18-10/3)
- Thread starter Samkow
- Start date
The difference is that we're developing Heatherington and Paliotta. AHL time for young d-men is pretty important. Yevenko is going to be used as needed, development be damned. Kukan also has plenty of pro experience so he doesn't need the AHL.
I'm not sure what's up with Madaisky. There's sometimes strategy about when to try and sneak someone through waivers.
Anyone notice Gerard's son Brett Gallant still on the roster for some reason? The last surviving member of the PEI mafia?
The last time the Jackets kept "worm bodies" this late in the camp happened when Doug MacLean was a general manager. They actually used to keep warm bodies all year long back then.
Sorry, but I'd trust Portzline and CBJ front office on this one.
Not related.
And I'm not sure why he's still here. He hasn't played in a preseason game yet.

My guess. Based on what I'm hearing about Clarkson, don't expect him to have a guaranteed spot night in, night out. I think Jenner Jr. (Rychel) is sticking around.

Yep
He's there for a little extra look, I'll concede that, but I wouldn't read into it that he's somehow passed the other guys on the depth chart (the 'top 11' comment). Being sent down now vs later really doesn't have a lot to do with how the org views these guys. There are no D spots open and they may as well send the other guys down to get them started with Lake Erie. Yevenko's getting an extra look just to see if he's worth a 2 way deal. This is is 4th camp with an NHL team, so maybe he's progressed to the point that he could possibly play a game or two in the NHL, but after seeing him in camp and on Tuesday, I have little desire to see him out there.
Big kid, lots of heart, but he may be one of the slower guys I've ever seen in an NHL game, preseason or not.

He was a student at the University of Massachusetts for 4 years till this spring. He couldn't attend any NHL camps.

Islanders, Devils, Bruins, now CBJ. all have taken looks at him. This is his 'first' training camp, the others were development camps.

That is a good question. I am not sure he has even played yet. He looked like he belonged in his limited time with the club last year. Nothing flashy, but there is potential.
Edit: I just looked and he has played in two games. I am not sure I ready anything about how he looked. He probably hasn't looked good or bad I guess
You can't compare development camps to an actual NHL pre-season camp.
You're saying:
Todd Richards is saying:
And Kekkalainen:

I guess you've got diametrically different looks at his game. And sorry, I trust an actual NHL coach and front office officials more.
I knew a couple of Gallants from the island when I was at school in Halifax, so I'd wager there's a fair few. The Maritimes in general have a lot of people with the same last names. Lots of MacKays and Beatons from Nova Scotia, for instance.
Me too, unless of course it's not a sample Edmonton Oilers with Ekins and McTavish.

Good test for the big guy today as I'm sure the Pens won't be holding any of their big guns back
Yevenko-Prout pairing?
Klich, some people aren't sold on Prout being an NHL player. I don't claim to know anything about Yevenko, and he is HUGE compared to Prout's BIG, but I'd guess he's prolly worse than Prout at about everything at this point? I can see him definitely get a 2-way deal to have an extended "exclusive" look at him so another team doesn't swoop in. He'll essentially play the "prout role" in Syracuse.
The roles Prout and Yevenko play are still valuable in the game of hockey. I think THAT is what should be taken away from the comments of the front office and the fact that they are apart of the team and have been given the opportunities they have. Not to argue which number rank they are on the defensive depth chart. Comparing Prout and Golobeuf is about as good as Yevenko and Madiasky or Paliotta.

Yes I can. I can also wonder why those other three teams didn't invite him to training camp this year or sign him outright.
You should. You should also consider that sometimes they might say things for other reasons. I'm sure some of the other defensemen are taking note of this guy and what's being said about him.
I'm not saying they don't like him, but that doesn't really mean anything. He's not close to taking anyone else's spot. If he plays more than a game or two I'll be shocked. Like I said when this little exchange between you and I started, don't read into it too much.

Now I can see you have no idea what you're talking about. He was offered a 2-way contract 2 years ago, but decided to get an education. He was saying it multiple times in his interview. This offseason he chose Columbus cause he saw the best opportunity for himself.
You are ranking goalies and defensemen in the prospect polls.

Are you Mrs. Yevenko?
I'm glad he's getting an opportunity to live his dream.
The point is that none of those other teams have offered him a 2 way deal in the time since. CBJ may be the best opportunity, but I believe he'd go anywhere he'd get a 2 way deal over the 1 way Columbus signed him. Maybe not, I guess. Frankly, I don't really care about the 12th defenseman enough to keep arguing with a fanboy about it.

many people having varying opinions on this. Mine would be:
Saad-Johansen-Foligno
Jenner-Dubinsky-Rychel
Hartnell-Wennberg-Atkinson
Calvert-Campbell-Clarkson
Bourque, Boll
Johnson-Savard
Murray-Connauton
Tyutin-Goloubef
Prout
I'm working on an update to the chart and was looking for a list of one-way contracts. None of the capgeek replacement websites I've checked have a notation of whether a deal is one-way or two-way.
