The roster is full of NHL and AHL-contracted players as well as some just-drafted players.
Nick Robertson will be there, as will his junior linemate and last year’s preseason darling Semyon Der-Arguchintsev. Kalle Loponen, just drafted, and just signed to play in the OHL is also going to St. John’s.
There are three players on try-out contracts. Michal Neuvirth and Matt Read, both former Flyers who are trying to make the Leafs, and Marc-Antoine Pepin, an undrafted junior player who was on the roster at Traverse City. We’ll have a profile of him tomorrow for you.
Edited to add: I missed the presence of goalie try-out Brandon Halverson. He’s 23, and has played a lot of ECHL and some AHL. It’s a pure coincidence he was born in Traverse City, but in a truly shocking turn of events, he played junior hockey in the OHL for the Soo Greyhounds.
If you are in the area and want to attend this weekend’s practices and events, you can find all the information on times, dates, and how to get free tickets for everything, including the Alumni Game on Sunday at the official site.
The first preseaon game goes on Tuesday in St. John’s against the Ottawa Senators.
