Is it just the increased exposure/attention or me but looks like there are a lot of big bodies out there?... Not just Smith and Kanzig but overall.

It's just you. No one else has commented on the size of our players at camp in this thread.

“I feel excited,” said Craig Conroy, assistant general manager. “We get lots of calls from teams who like our (prospects). I’ll admit — in years past, it wasn’t quite like that ... we didn’t get a lot of calls. Now we do. That’s a good sign for me. That means people are excited about our guys.”

For the Flames’ annual rookie camp, Brad Treliving wanted the invitations pared down — or, at least, re-themed. The new general manager needed to clap eyes on fewer of the young pros, and more of the fresher commodities.

Good news for campers?

Pace is likely to be ratcheted back.

“In years past, we’ve really hammered guys,” said Conroy. “We know what kind of players they are. We don’t want to kill them. We want them to have some fun, just enjoy it. Don’t try to do too much. Just be yourself.”

Article on his background, mom is from Singapore who came to Canada as a student. Got a Subaru Impreza from his parents as a reward for his hardwork.
http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/sh....php?t=1239979
HF poster listed him as a top 30 WHL prospect for the 2013 draft, has a really good shot. Some tidbits in there about Klimchuk, Kanzig, Roy and Carroll as well.

Brandon Vuic
Has not played much at all, only 28 regular season games last year and 14 in the playoffs.

Tough to find info on him. He was drafted 105th overall in the 2012 KHL draft to a Czech team.

Calgary Flames ‏@NHLFlames 1m FYI: Gillies, Jankowski, Poirier & Hathaway are at #Flames development camp but will not participate in on-ice sessions.

Why no Jankowski?

Since Poirier is included on the list, I assume it's due to injuries

Seems like it is something unexpected or Gilles and Jankowski wouldn't have been featured on Flames.com as 'players to watch' in camp.

Wolf hurried through testing so he could watch the World Cup game...



It must be a culture shock for him to come to a country where soccer isn't a big deal and everyone is dressed up like a cowboy.

Didn't Treliving say if they've done two they wouldn't really be in the mix? Jankowski has done two.

Gaudreau has done three. So no, I don't think that's it.

So no on ice testing, but are they still able to play the scrimmages?
