Did they say he would decide after Rookie Camp? Or was it after Training Camp in September? I don't remember what that report/tweet had said it was. I do recall the part of coming to camp and then deciding, but I can't remember which camp it was.
I'm fairly certain college players don't go to training camp so I'm guessing it's after the Rookie camp
Not really, FA invites go out for Rookie camp as well. Since we are so tight lipped not a lot has come out yet, but we have invited the following players:
Mike Ambrosia, F, Youngstown/USHL (next Princeton)
Jack Berger, F, Princeton/NCAA
Note: Teams call the June/July camps different things, most call it a development camp. Some teams have a rookie camp right before the main training camp starts.
The summer development/prospect camps in June/July - NCAA players attend, but yes, per NCAA rules, some caveats but they pay their own way to attend unlike other players. Some NCAA players do not attend due to the financial issues and/or because they are in summer school. NCAA players typically do not attend the fall camp because they are back on campus most already having started classes.
The guy I'm most looking forward to see is Eric Gelinas. Had a fantastic rookie-pro season, and should be one of the best defenseman at camp.
Definitely.
Hard not to get excited about him after an impressive rookie campaign. He had a very strong second half in the A. Would like to see him have a great camp and give the staff a hard decision on whether or not to send him back.
Ultimately, he's going to have to wait because of how many good d-men we have signed, but if there are injuries him and Urbom will be at the top of the list.

Ambrosia: 5 feet 9 inches, put up pretty good numbers in his second USHL season with Youngstown. 18-47-65 in 60gp. Could be a good offensive player in the AHL, but he hasn't exactly played against tough competition yet.
Berger: 6 feet 2 inches, put up ok numbers in his second ECAC (Princeton) season after one unimpressive season each in the USHL and ECAC. I was gonna say "the next George Parros" () but his PIMs are pretty low. He's also 22 already.
This is one event I wouldnt want opened to the public, so I cant fault them for not doing so.
In general, however, it's ridiculous how little access the fans get to Devils practices. Must be one of the worst in the league in that capacity. Hell, more than a few Canadian clubs have open practices, and if Canuck teams can do it you cant tell me American teams cant.
We lose about half the scoring we still have left, and our beloved legendary franchise goaltender, but at least we have a 9 year solution in net, and don't have to worry about a starting goaltender until 2022 or whenever that contract ends!
Tedenby, Pesonen, and Hoeffel will replace the voids left by Zach, Trav, and Kovy!
Actually forget those 3. Trav, Kovy, Zach, and Petr will be replaced by 4 of the hardest working forwards in the rookie camp!

Is Ambrosia a Delbarton product or am I out to lunch right now?

Parros didn't have high PIMs either, fighting is not permitted in college hockey. Hasn't stopped him from becoming an effective enforcer in the NHL.

I don't know if he's any taller, but he has put on some weight. When he was drafted, he was listed at around 180-190 lbs by the sources I've seen. Now I see him listed at 205 lbs.
