Prospects camp?

Holly Gunning · 06-16-2007, 01:03 PM

Anyone know when Predators prospects camp will be this year?

SLake · 06-16-2007, 01:07 PM

No, we haven't heard yet. But as you know, it usually takes place just after the draft...I'll try to post if I see anything.

I asked Laakso's brother and he told me that Laakso is leaving Finland on the 25th, so my guess is the camp starts around 27th-28th or close to that.

Of June, correct?

Thanks for the help!

June, yes. And no problem. Would've helped more if I knew more, but even Laakso's brother didn't know exact dates. Only the date when his brother leaves.

It was announced on the NP.com messageboards yesterday by the webmaster (who is an employee of the Preds) that the prospects camp would run from June 26th to July 2nd.

I assume that the first day would be physicals and the like, but after that we might see some players on the ice for usually all but one day towards the end when they do a team activity instead of an ice session (MTSU high ropes course, things like that - trust and team-building activities).

Do they allow cameras there? If they do, I could be interested in a few pics of the Finns (especially Laakso)... maybe other prospects too...

any word on Shafigulin coming to this camp?...I read on RussianProspects.com on June 3rd that he might be signing with Nashville...actually I think it would be great for him to get a chance to play with Radulov in training camp.....

I think the lack of a transfer agreement might have impeded things.

predperson · 06-28-2007, 07:16 AM

anyone going down this afternoon?

braindead · 06-28-2007, 12:13 PM

I'm thinking of trying to sneak over there. I'm assuming there may not be a lot of action today though (ie no scrimmage). Anyone recall from prior years?

OurGocIsAnAwesomeGoc · 06-28-2007, 01:29 PM

Yeah, isn't there typically just workouts\testing on the first couple of days?

We work at the same place. Well, not exactly, but the same firm and I seem him almost daily, except for now I won't be seeing him for a few months because he had shoulder surgery (injury prone like his brother, I guess...).

EDIT: If this is against the forum rules or something, just delete it.

I went.

Pretty crowded. Not quite as much as there is for the first day of training camp in Sept., but still a good amount. And, lots of cameras. I don't ever recall seeing that many media people there, though I suppose that had more to do with the sale than the actual players.

I didn't have a lineup sheet so it was kind of hard to keep up with who was who out there.

They just did drills, no scrimmage or anything.

Stehlik is freaking HUGE. Had a nice shot, too. Especially one that was high glove, wow it was nice.

Hornqvist, I can see some Radulov in him (knows he has oodles of talent and seems to have a good personality). And of course some Forsberg when he was skating around.

Since it was just drills it was hard to get a read on them. But it was good to see Geoffrion and Blum out there.

Cody Franson was not out there. I was disappointed in that.

Thanks for the update Spank. I might try to make it out there tomorrow...

Holly Gunning · 06-29-2007, 08:05 PM

Anyone have the jersey numbers?

Holly Gunning · 06-30-2007, 07:42 PM

FYI -- the Monday on-ice session has been canceled.

sparkle twin · 07-03-2007, 02:43 AM

Cancelled so that they all could go to the Wave Pool.

The cameras even caught Ryan Maki hitting on a lifeguard. Or should I say, 'Maki-ng' on a lifeguard, haha.
