I'm stoked to see Romani come in and light it up. If he was born two months later, he'd have been a mid-late first round pick. Outscored all D+1 players in the OHL from the 2023 draft. I think several teams will regret passing on him.

For context, he is younger than both Dalibor Dvorsky and Quentin Musty (two 1st round picks last year) and his 1.63 ppg is almost on par with Dvorsky's production.

I said this already in the prospects thread but the most interesting invite is Benjamin Brunelle, a 6’5 2005-born player who scored 41 ES points in the Q last year. Plus skater, looking at clips.

I can think of like 30 WHL guys I’d like to take a closer look at and it’s always disappointing that instead we get heaps of pointless NCAA guys who can’t even sign anywhere for years.

The Canucks have a somewhat interesting article out on the different approach they'll be taking at development camp. Smaller groups. More individual instruction.

Callum Hughes looks somewhat interesting. He’s the only 2006 born undrafted invite and was ranked #99 among NA skaters. Had ok numbers as a BCHL rookie coming out of a U16 high school league. Playing in BU next year with Willander.

Wouldn’t have been horrified if we had used a 7th rounder on him.

Looking at the forwards, I would have liked them to invite Alex zetterberg. Kid from this draft, really small but has plus skating and shot. Almost a poor man's caulfield. Swing for the upside

lots of short clips of the work the prospects are putting in today.

They always have their prospect camp this early? I remember it being pretty close to the young stars tournament. Maybe I'm just lost.

It's always around this time of year right after the draft when the newly drafted prospects are already in north america.

Im not sure

Anyone know if tomorrow’s scrimmage is open to the public? Haven’t been able to find anything anywhere, save for an ‘I think so’ from Jeff Paterson.

I’ve complained about this for a few years in a row, just pure lack of communication. I’m starting to believe it’s intentional rather than incompetence or laziness.

But I think it’ll be open. Someone here said it was open on Tuesday so Thursday shouldn’t be different. I’ll be heading there for the scrimmage. Hopefully the rink is dog friendly, as I’m fostering atm.

It is definitely intentional imo

Camp observers are raving about Wilander......his skating skills are off the charts....and his hands are rapidly catching up with his feet.

Another year at Boston U, but I wonder if there's a chance he bypasses Abbotsford altogether? Canucks are still short of puck-handling and breakout d-men, particularly on the right side.

Thank you. Think my brother and I may take a chance. We’ll look for a guy with a dog. Our current pup is a rescue from Endless Pawsabilities, and I have a ton of time for both the pups and the kind souls who foster them.

He’s never going to play a shift in Abbotsford.

I really wish we could've signed Willander this year and let him attend our training camp. If he's ready this year it could've mitigated the need to make a move on defence at the deadline.

I was just gonna say - Samuelsson looks jacked still.

Historically the building hasn't been closed. I am also looking into going but trying to finalize. All I can find is the 11am-12pm comment from Faber in the canucks.com article.

Worth it long term to let him stay one more year and work on his offense.
