Appears he's still Detroit's property.

fwiw, I don't think there is any info. on that site that confirms he is still on the Red Wings reserve list. As I posted above, I plan to look into his status, hopefully, I will have time to review the old CBA this evening.

Thanks for the info, sk8. The kid is 6'6", 230 still playing junior A and is nearly 21 years old! I can't imagine, just on that information alone, that he becomes even an AHL regular...I'll probably check out the Devs prospect camp and get a look at him just to be sure, but geez, he's still playing against all those kids that he's out-aged and out-grown...

As long as you're not expecting much, he's fine. If you have even slightly elevated expectations (as in... he can play) you're in for a disappointment. Nice kid. But the talent fairy skipped him.

I sent the publisher a PM. The site is usually pretty accurate.

EDIT: I got a PM from the RWC publisher and he confirmed that Backstrom is Wings property until August 15th, 2010.

Undrafted Camp Invites

Willie Coetzee of the Red Deer Rebels have accepted an invite to the Detroit Red Wings camp in Sept.

 

[Mathletic]

[Ban Hammered]

Just one not mentioned, Chris Hepp, D-man for SCSU was at Phoenix's camp

Yeah, I went to the Devs prospect camp today...I'm pretty sure he can't cross-over...he's big and pretty lacking of everything else...he did try to walk a defenseman, which had hilarious results...borderline ECHLer probably...

The Wings have invited Willie Coetzee to training camp. The source seems reliable.

Kellan Tochkin has apparently signed a two year deal with the canucks
I guess his stats (74 points in 72 games) and camp was enough to show the Canucks brass he could be a good prospect

Wouldn't he have to sign a three year entry-level contract?

He did sign a three year ELC.

 

[Mike Jones]

He did sign a three year ELC.

Thank you. The previous poster had mentioned two so I wasn't sure.

 

[Bronson]

Zach Torquato was not signed by Detroit... Any team invited him to their training camp?

Minnesota.

 

[Louis Houde]

Mathieu Tousignant just signed by Dallas

 

[Bronson]

The Wild have also signed Tri-Cities D-Man Tyler Schmidt to an ATO for the second year in a row. Good player, little surprised he wasn't drafted after his excellent season.

Do you have a source for this? All I can find is about how he got a ATO last year.

Wild

I was at the Olaf Kolzig/Carson Kolzig Charity Golf Event and spoke with Tyler. He has signed another ATO with the Wild.

I forgot about Tucker, surprised he wasn't drafted though. Good luck to him.

I created a topic about the players invited to rookie camp or main camp on the trade and rumors board

Feel free to add any links or info!

Just curious - What's the rationale for creating a new one? Is it because of the free agent aspect of the camp invitation?

 

[tentyler]

I think tucker would really fit in with that team
