Try-Out News

From Gregg Drinnan...

"With the NHL draft over and done with, players are starting to sign free-agent tryout contracts or agreeing to attend prospect camps.
The Minnesota Wild wants to take a look at Kamloops Blazers D Giffen Nyren, 20"




Nyren totaled 46 points (11 Goals, 35 Assists) in 69 Games, and 2 points (1 goal, 1 assist) in 4 playoff games for the Kamloops Blazers. From all accounts, he converted from forward to defense, and is a skilled puck moving D; understandably he's a bit raw in his own end (probably more from a lack of experience) but he's worth a look in my book.

2 called shenanigans:

Do you know if the skates are open to the public at all?

Ya...The scrimmage on Sunday is open to the public.

I think they want this Nyren kid to play for them in the Prospect Tournament in Traverse City, MI, this fall. I didn't see his name on the "Development Camp" roster.
