Prospects Camp July 10-14 in Tampa

[timothy]

per a tweet from EE on Sunday.

Connolly and Boomer already confirmed... expecting other draftees... I'll sticky this thread for discussion of prospects camp up to and during the camp.

Anybody find out if the Lightning are going to try and get back in Traverse City?

I'll try to find out from the organization.

Is the prospects camp where they invite undrafted players for a tryout or is that at training camp?

Another quick question, is the prospects camp where all unsigned prospects attend(if they wish)? Like prospects from last year and the year before etc.?

Pretty much. But with the new GM and coaching staff, I wouldn't be surprised to see alot of prospects, signed + unsigned, attend so that the staff can get a first look at them and access the organizational depth, and get them on their summer conditioning and nutrition program.

I think we've had undrafted guys at both, could be remembering wrong though.

Tyson Barrie, right?

Thanks for the info, I was hoping to go see the training camp but it starts after school starts back up so I'll have to check this out instead.

Hopefully Gudas doesn't pick fights with his fellow prospects

No, this re: the '08 camp mentions the undrafted guys. Having that many might've been a one-off thing but it's what I was thinking of.

Anyway, you might see one or two undrafted guys if they need to fill out rosters, but chances are there'll be more at the big training camp (which can't come soon enough).
