Prospect Info: Traverse City Tournament 2013

[ColonialsHockey10]

Detroit releases their roster, making the Rangers the last team.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

If Kreider is eligible, he needs to play. He needs all the play and experience he can get.

 

[Zil]

If Kreider is eligible, he needs to play. He needs all the play and experience he can get.

He's not eligible. He technically has two years of pro experience.

 

[BBKers]

He's not eligible. He technically has two years of pro experience.

Yeah, but I have been firmly and decisively been told here that playoffs do not count. Especially when considering stats and such. The Traverse City committee most likely have read these wise words on HFBoards and of course agrees making Kreider eligible

 

[Barnaby]

If Kreider is eligible, he needs to play. He needs all the play and experience he can get.

I concur 100%. He needs to work his butt off, and play every game that he can. He needs the experience, and hasn't earned anything a thing at this point. One small playoff sample is promising, but doesn't prove that you belong.

 

[BTW8892]

Yeah, but I have been firmly and decisively been told here that playoffs do not count. Especially when considering stats and such.

This is true. Kreider is still technically considered a rookie this upcoming season.

 

[cwede]

seems Spelling will join NYR prospects at TC:

Alex Nunn ‏@aj_ranger
Thomas Spelling departs for NYC on Tuesday. He will spend a week w/ the Rangers. Spelling's SønderjyskE play Hannover Scorpions today. #NYR

 

[BTW8892]

Good news for anyone who was hoping for some sort of live stream of the games. According to the Traverse City event page, the Rangers will have their games streamed live on the internet.

draft TC roster

well the 1st game is now just a week away

Folks keep writing about all the 2d year pros who may play at TC
(Jean, Yogan, Hrivik, Miller, McIlrath, even Kreider; also Marcou is 2d-year)

the Rangers have typically NOT used too many 2d year guys at TC - max of 3 in '11 and '08 (details with links - see below)

that would indicate that more advanced guys Kreider, Miller, Hrivik are less likely than 'still developing' young pros such as McIlrath, Yogan and Jean

my draft roster does include Miller, since he (and Jean) have never attended TC
IF NYR go with 4 2d-year, but not Miller, Marcou could be in the mix

also listed are some non_NYR property possible tryout players, from Wolfpack signees, expected Wolfpack tryouts, and still unsigned anywhere Dev Camp attendees

more likely than the DC guys, though, will be unknown new tryout invites

Buchnevic is doubtful to leave his KHL team for 2 weeks, but i believe its happened before

[Thirty One]

Hu-ah!

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

I'd say McIlrath is as close to a guarantee as you're going to get. He missed half of last season.

Miller is very likely as well. I'd say Yogan too.

You have to factor in ages as well. Miller may have pro experience, but he was a 2011 draft pick, still very young.

That's why Jean and Hrivik are less likely, pro experience or not.

 

[KanetoToews2883]

Would be nice if Buchnevich played. Get a look at him on the smaller ice against good competition.

Rather than recycling worn out reruns, the NHL Network should be broadcasting all of the games from all of these prospect tournaments going on. Coordinate with the teams, other broadcast companies, whatever, to distribute the costs. More coverage only helps the league.

The other day listening to NHL radio, they were talking about how to grow the interest in the WJC in the US. They could start by growing interest in prospects in general and covering these tournaments, does that.

So...you're saying they should stop showing pens reruns? If I had the picture of the guy getting thrown out the office window, I'd post it

 

[Boruto]

YAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Can't wait to see everyone play!

Hey! Show some respect! A few days ago we were on NHL Network.......













......Getting spanked 9-2 by Pittsburgh.

Good post, intelligent projection en lieu of an actual roster

 

[vipernsx]

Yeah just incase you missed the game, or missed the rerun of the game, or the rerun of the rerun of the game, or the rerun of the rerun of the rerun....oh forget it!

 

[BBKers]

Where is the roster already?
Nice analysis by Cwede but I think there will be a few more unknown and a few less established names on the roster. Do not see Miller, Jean or Busnevich on the team for different reasons. Maybe Miller btw...

They're doing it mystery style this year. Brown paper bag on everyone until game time.

Hehe

And both Lilja and Worrel are on the roster as TOs.

 

[gravey9]

I bet there's one guy in the NYR org who is responsible for getting the roster released and he's on vacation until tuesday. that's my best guess as to why we haven't had this roster done. either that, or they're having trouble booking a full roster.

Probably still finalizing 1 or 2 guys on tryouts. Not a big deal really. I know we're all desperate for hockey and news of any kind but let's not freak out because our Traverse City roster got released 4-5 days later than we wanted.

 

[RangerBoy]

The Rangers NHL.com roster has some possible names for Traverse City

Justin Barnett/JT Barnett. I believe that is the son of former NHL GM of the Coyotes/former Rangers exec/former player agent Mike Barnett's son. He attended some Devils camps. Sather doing a favor for his friend.

Ben Fanelli

Jimmy Oligny

Klarc Wilson

http://www.nhl.com/ice/playersearch.htm?team=NYR&pg=1

There are some other players listed who don't have NHL SPCs. AHL contracts. Usually those guys aren't listed with the signed NHL guys and reserve list players.

Thats because they're gonna unleash this sick stacked lineup of half AHL guyd and pummel the other team's 20 yr old try outs. YES!
