NHL Prospects
2019-20 Rookie Camps & Tournaments
Teams look for prospect depth within rich pool of undrafted talent
Steve Kournianos | 09/05/2019 | Nashville | [hupso]
Colorado Avalanche 2019 first-round pick Bowen Byram is one of several blue-chip prospects participating in rookie tournaments this weekend.
NASHVILLE (The Draft Analyst) — The NHL will begin its 103rd season of operation in less than a month, and as the excitement surrounding training camp escalates by the day, so too will the interest in the annual prospect events that feature many of the game’s rising stars. Over the next seven days, every NHL team will ice a collection of phenoms, draft picks and free-agent invitees to compete either head-to-head against other organizations or scrimmage internally. Either way, a tremendous amount of attention is paid to these events, and several of the tournaments will be streamed online for free via team websites.
Below is a team-by-team breakdown of notable offseason free-agent signees and invites, including some who remain draft eligible and could be on a team’s radar for selection at the draft next June. For others, the prospect camps represent a last gasp at attempting to secure a contract, a fact that makes the preseason exhibition more competitive and intense than one would think.
