And don’t forget our Russian goaltending gem, Varlamov. I was very pleasantly suprised to see his name on the camp roster. We’ll be able to get a glimpse into the Caps goaltending tandem of the future.

Cool.
I was coming to DC next week to do a story on the Simpsons’ themed-7-11 out in Bladesburg, so now I might as well drive across the river and see the Caps’ young-uns too.

According to the release, Finley will be there; as Pucks noted, a number of the college guys were there last summer: Seabrook, Thomas, Gordon, Morin and Joudrey were all at the Hershey 06 camp.
Here’s a link to Vogel’s write-up

Saw the schedule of training and scrimmages. I might be able to catch some, imagine that. Hopefully will see you guys there as well.

I was wondering when they were going to get out the camp roster…hopefully soon.
That would be major bonus if Finley was there…my favorite prospect other than Backstrom.

Last summer’s camp in Hershey featured some NCAA-ers, including Morin and Gordon, so Finley’s participation this year wouldn’t be that great a surprise. My understanding from a couple of informal chats with Caps’ folks is that this camp will include a lot of guys DraftGeeks will want to see. A preliminary camp roster ought to be published soon.

Is Finley actually going to be there? He would have to pay his own way along with boarding and such with all the NCAA regualtions.
I hope he’s there…but would be surprised if he indeed made it.
