I probably won't comb over some past rosters to refresh memory, but this invitee crop looks like the best in recent memory. Snively, Mackey, and Kielly should make or remain on those college UDFA lists. Snively's the waterbug playmaker from Yale, while Mackey's racked up USHL and WCHA defenseman honors in successive years and Kielly back-stopped Clarkson's strong season with pro size. Bavaro's a late-bloomer with a good shot/release, depends on skating improvements IIRC. He did notch a hat trick against Notre Dame, but I don't really watch much AHC with an eye out for pro prospects. Biro's a high-motor forechecking forward that you could say took his cues from Sturtz at PSU. Coskey's among those skilled enough to earn an invitation to the USA showcase camp in July. Luce, meh whatever, an Osmanski or Lepkowski probably. Peski's a depth third-pair defenseman at UND. Shepard's had success in USHS, NAHL, and NCAA, back-stopping UMD to title and owning several single-season UMD records.
