NHL Updates

A few NHL related UMass news to pass along tonight.

First, Mike Kostka has signed a one year deal with the Florida Panthers.  Hopefully playing in the Panthers system (not exactly tops in the NHL) will afford him a chance to make his NHL debut.

Secondly, sticktap to a FTT reader who informed me that T.J. Syner has received an invite to attend the Washington Capitals Development Camp.

Lastly, Adam Phillips has received an invitation to attend the Philadelphia Flyers camp.  Joining him there will be none other than former Notre Dame goaltender Brad Phillips, Adam’s brother.

Last minute addition to this post:

Recruit Kenny Gillespie was included on NHL Central Scouting’s watch list for the 2012 draft.  Gillespie is considered a “B” level prospect.

    So do you think that Gillespie is one of the new recruits that will come in and play right away? Assuming Manno will, but have been wondering what kind of contributions to expect from those two, as well as the other new recruits.

      It seems like Gillespie will be someone who will be able to contribute from the start, and that includes with goal scoring. But keep in mind he’s not due to come here until 2012. He’ll be in the USHL next year.

      Check the Recruits and Beyond link above. It should be up to date. I think.

      It’ll have some of the info you’re looking for.

      I’m waiting for an updated roster before trying to project what to expect from who.
