So if you keep Tivey what about the other 20yr olds? Do you try and upgrade one of them. I would keep Tivey and Mann and try to bring a Oliver, Houde, Woodworth type of player someone that can play on the top 6 and help are young players up front. Ianniello didn't cost anything so if we can get something in return good if not Adios amigos.

I do like Ianniello but if we are trying to get more experience for some of the other D it would be best to let him go. I feel that Amyot is ready to take on more ice time. I am concerned about his size. I am sure some other guys will come into camp ready to take on more this season.

Any info on when things start? First exhibition game is on Tuesday, August 20th, so best guess is that reporting and measurements (off-ice) is likely Saturday, August 17th.

Canada U17 camp running from 07/18 to 07/24 so I guess no official signing until it ends...still strange none confirmed yet. But again, these are new arguments (Canada camp selected) to get best/better offer from the team.

But again, these are new arguments (Canada camp selected) to get best/better offer from the team. Saint John traditionally likes to bring the prospects in, show them the city, make the full pitch, then have them sign in person (hence the lovely signing photos). There are exceptions, but that is the common scenario. In the past, the team would make a lot of pitches during development camp, but there was no development camp this year. In terms of players, I still expect pitches to everyone drafted other than Glance (with him, it would be more important to simply open communication since he can't/won't leave the NDTP for 2 years). From this group, there is the possibility that this could be one of the (if not the) best draft classes in team history, but there is also the possibility of getting 2 players out of the whole class willing to report.

Chartrand, Glance, Morin all the same, 95% chance never coming to St-John...If they can get minimum communication from them great, but little to no hope for making the jump I think. Only STJ first 2 from round one could possibly sign before camp and play this year. Fingers crossed that they don't leave after 48 hrs...is that still a thing?

The team will at least talk about pitches with everyone. While Chartrand is leaning US, there is still a chance that he comes this year. Morin is less likely, but the team will at least make a pitch for this year and open communication for the future. Glance is likely unpitchable because he is likely already in Michigan with the USNTDP and is hard committed in that direction.

Add two more invites: Jonah Leard (former AB pick: www.eliteprospects.com/player/729427/jonah-leard) and Brayden Campbell (https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/692786/brayden-campbell) Also, SJ appears to have a training camp deal with Charlottetown for Will Allen, so something would go to Charlottetown if he makes it (this is an assumption based on his draft column still only showing Chicoutimi and that he was on Charlottetown's roster today).

Looks like Jack Flanagan has been loaned to SJ from Charlottetown too.
