A full roster for the camp will be released following the June 28-29 draft in Las Vegas, but Owen Pickering, Brayden Yager, Tristan Broz, Ville Koivunen and Cruz Lucuis are among those confirmed to be attending. The roster will be rounded out primarily with the Penguins' prospects in college, junior and Europe, along with a number of undrafted free agents looking to earn contracts.
Development camp is generally for prospects without much AHL experience, so it would be surprising if players like Joel Blomqvist, Sam Poulin, Jonathan Gruden or Vasily Ponomarev attended. Those players typically participate in the September rookie camp before heading to Buffalo, N.Y. for the Prospects Challenge tournament.
