Devil Dan 56 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Interesting to see Murphy assigned #28. Usually the lower numbers (2-29) are assigned to people they expect to make the team, meaning he may have a tiny edge on Corrente. Of course, Corrente wore 32 in camp last year, too.

insanity_gallops Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I love that the Devils' numbers actually have significance. It's great. Doesn't mean a high number rules out the chance of making the team, but a good showing is needed. I fully expect Murphy to be on the team at the start of the year and Corrente to get a look later in. I'd like to see Murphy get a chance beyond a cup of coffee (read as: 5 or 6 games) to prove he can contribute. Then again, this is a new coaching staff for the most part, so they'll all need to form opinions on these guys. I'm excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prucenterrules Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Damn 7 goalies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Damn 7 goalies. Yeah, but Lerg is hurt, leaving 2 goalies for each team. Makes sense. I hope to see Frazee in atleast 1 NHL game this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Note: Although Niclas Bergfors' first name had previously been listedby he Devils as "Nicklas", the K is gone this year. I'm not sure ifthat means they were spelling his name wrong for the last three yearsand he just pointed out the mistake or if there is some other reasonbehind this change. Oops!

Vic Rattlehead18 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Why isn't Eric Rasmussen on this list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's absurd!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Where the hell are Tedenby and Josefson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Where the hell are Tedenby and Josefson? I could be wrong but I believe they are with their respective teams in Sweden. In fact I think they have already played in some pre-season games there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 They are prospects still, I dont think they are eligible to even play here this year even on the farm teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I think they have already played in some pre-season games there. I didn't realize the season even started over there yet. I just assumed they would still be in camp. They are prospects still, I dont think they are eligible to even play here this year even on the farm teams. Yeah but Urbom is here, as well as some other prospects. I don't think it matters if you're going to play in North America or not as to whether you can attend training camp. I noticed Hoeffel isn't on that list either.

I noticed Hoeffel isn't on that list either. None of the NCAA guys are there. They have to pay their own way to camp and for their own accommodations to remain eligible to play NCAA. For them it also means missing classes and the start of their own preseason workouts at school. It is really rare for a NCAA guy to make an nhl camp. Urbom is there because he is playing for Brandon in the WHL this year, not in Sweden. Tedenby and Josefson are not there because they are under pro contract in Sweden, where the preseason has already started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Par9 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Murphy I believe will make the team, he is a better version of Mottau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
