Not really.

I mean, this is a kid who's about as far away from professional hockey as any in this system. If I were in his shoes, I'd be concentrating on both school and elevating himself at the collegiate level. If he succeeds at either, everything will fall into place for him further down the line. Missing a year or two of camp certainly isn't going to do him any disservice.

Kuemper had shoulder surgery in March. Probably too early to push it for a development camp. They need him to be healthy in October for real games.

Scholarship + financial aid = Harvard!

And even if he was rich, not all rich kids spend their money. Money is money

Never been there. Been planning this trip since around January. I'm really looking forward to it.

Thanks TZM.

Odd seeing Scandella still on there.

Michalek will be there.

Updated the OP with rosters.

Anyone else think Team Green is ridiculously stacked? Seems like it might be a test for Brodin and Kampfer to try keep up with Granlund-Phillips-Zucker-Bulmer-Lucia.

Victorious Secret · 07-03-2012, 01:04 PM

Green's got the O, White has the D and G. It'll be interesting.

I don't know, White does have Brodin-Kampfer, but other than that they have...Cuma-Seeler? Jobke is somewhat promising I guess. Green has Scandella-Dumba. I think I might take that pair over Brodin-Kampfer, but it's close.

TZM · 07-03-2012, 01:12 PM

I guess the Finn and the Swedes can't get along?!

E: Right, there's Gustafsson.

nickschultzfan · 07-03-2012, 01:23 PM

They seem pretty even to me.

Haula, Coyle, Larsson, and Bertschy will bring the offense for Team White.

Spawnisen · 07-03-2012, 01:25 PM

It's so exciting to read thsoe rosters. We have some great talents coming up! Can't wait for season 2014-15

So happy Dumba is on Granlund's team.

Well Baldwin is a 6'5" defenseman behemoth and apparently punches people

After watching him in Spokane the last few years I can tell you that he can fight but backed off the past couple of years after breaking his hand a time or two. What he will do for you is block shots and provide size on the blueline. He won't blow you away with goals or assists but he was +35 last year and a real solid asset.

Also he has been at Vancouver's prospect camp this week.

Anyone know yet if the scrimmages are to be streamed?

That's an awesome question.

Yes they will.

BuddyMcCormick · 07-04-2012, 03:26 PM

Thoughts of the possibility of Parise and Suer making it to a scrimmage to see what the kids look like? :-\

I think it's too soon. Would be super cool though.

melinko · 07-04-2012, 05:00 PM

I could see Parise dropping by and talking to them, what it takes to make it in the nhl and that sort of thing.

It could really light a fire under them with all the excitement that will be around.

this providence · 07-04-2012, 05:15 PM

Press conference for both players are on Monday (i.e. the 8th).

Prospect camp starts that day. So they'll be around and I'm sure it'll be similar as to what we seen last year on Becoming Wild were both Heatley and Seto were somewhat visible to the prospects (who hope to one day be in their shoes).

Where? Through the official site or something? Hopefully no regional restrictions.

They do it on wild.com although I don't know if there are regional restrictions.

Sneaky Priest · 07-04-2012, 05:33 PM

So what time are the development camp scrimmages going to be? I know one is on sunday the 15th of July, when is the other one....
