Stephen Desrocher is going to Columbus' prospect and development camp this summer as a free agent invite. Probably hoping to score a NHL deal. Maybe he'll consider a AHL-only deal here if that doesn't work out.

I'm still surprised he didn't get a closer look, hopefully an AHL deal transpires.

Admittedly I don't really think we're missing out on anything, but it's a little odd because I'm not sure what else he needed to do to earn a contract. His most recent season probably went about as well as anybody could have expected. And he was of course a long-term project pick to begin with.

How is he going to fit in with all our Swedes, God I wish we could clone Salming.

It's especially odd to me given that The Leafs started employing the "draft oversteer who aren't great because they have untapped potential" model. I know not every draft pick gets signed or even has any organizational success but super drafter Mark Hunter already has two non-signed draft picks.

Out but not really... Korostelev could still eventually work his way into the 50-man roster through the ECHL/AHL. Depending on how Desrocher's camp goes with CBJ, I think we'll see him in our fold if no one else gives him a shake.
Vegas invited frequent Leaf dev camp invitee Tyler Wong to their camp, as he had been playing with their temporary farm system (Chicago). I've been hoping the Marlies could pick him up on an AHL deal, but I think he's angling for an ELC with a team that isn't overloaded already with smaller wingers. Vegas also invited Nikolas Brouillard (the Solar Bears' version of TJ Brennan that saw very brief Marlies action).

Adam Brooks (2016 4th rounder 92 overall in his D+2 year) has been signed to an ELC. Due to his current age, his contract will not be eligible to slide, but he will be waiver-exempt for 3 seasons or 80 games, whichever comes first.

I like Brooks, Lou speaks of him as a very very good addition, perhaps our new 4th line Centre (in a year or two)?
