New York Notables/Prospect camp list (finally posted)


Prospect camp opens today, and the new/improved transparent NYI are one of the last to release a prospect camp list as Shabanov is skating. I would suspect outside of Schaefer everyone not in Bridgeport will be sent back to their junior or european team. The season has begun in Europe/KHL, and is about to begin in CHL/OHL/WHL.

All I can write about Bridgeport is Oakview said a team is going to Hamilton, that could be before Leiweke had to quit, and is facing prison for rigging a bid, with the NYI former Utah affilate on the move to Trenton. This will be announced one way or another very soon. Oakview manages arena's, they don't own teams, and they operate both Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, and the renovated building in Hamilton. The silence from NYI is defening but the one year contracts make very clear they likely will not be in Bridgeport beyond this season. A prospect like Isaiah George is signed beyond next season so if he does not make the NYI he would have to report to Hamilton.

Of course Dolan is not televising games against the Flyers as usual, not even at the failed Belmont experiment as the NYI have tons of discounted parking plans with many not renewing their ticket plans, the 7pm start time will be a disaster as most of the building will be empty.
