The Canucks' camp is just around the corner with the Rookie Tournament kicking off on Friday. The Canucks issued a statement confirming 27 participants ranging from Draft Prospects, to signed players, to undrafted invitees.
The list is obviously highlighted by some of the Canucks' top prospect in Aatu Raty, Danila Klimovich, Aidan McDonough, Akito Hirose, Filip Johansson and Cole McWard who are all expected to dominate during to the event due to their prior pro experience.
Note notable prospects such as Tom Willander, Elias Pettersson(D-Pettey), Jonathan Lekkerimaki, Joni Jurmo, Jacob Truscott and Aiden Celebrini are not going to be attending due to the NCAA's regulations or their other contractual engagements.
Patrik Allvin and his scouting staff also added four players to the list as draft invitees. They'll be trying to prove their worth to the Canucks, hopefully getting an invite to the team's real camp: Jacob Maillet, Dalyn Wakely, Colby Saganiuk and Braeden Bowman.
Maillet will be an intriguing playing to keep watch, the Ontarien managed 76 points in 67 OHL games with the Windsor Spitfires last season. Bowman will also be an invitee to keep an eye on, he was a participant in the team's dev camp where he did quite well after collecting 33 goals and 72 points in only 54 games in the OHL.
