Everett Silvertips Vice President / General Manager Doug Soetaert announced Friday that the Silvertips have claimed forward Travis Dunstall off waivers from the Medicine Hat Tigers.
Hmm. Guess Willie could not find any takers for him.
Travis Dunstall is currently skating with the Grand Prarie storm. Grand Prairie however has 9 20 yr olds in their training camp, and he wouldn't be given a free spot based on his whl credentials.

Tigers Off to NHL Camps
Tigers off TO NHL Camps
The NHL rookie camps get largely underway this weekend, and early next week.
Triston King
The traverse City prospects tournament gets underway on Sunday. Triston King will play for the Dallas Stars prospects alongside notable WHL'ers such as Brandon's Scott Glennie, Kelowna's Jamie Benn, Lethbridge's Colton Sceviour, and Oil Kings Thomas Vincour. Theres an outside chance of Triston getting signed and ending up in the pro's. I'd say its highly likely he will be back.
Mark Isherwood
Mark Isherwood will be off to Boston's Camp where he will participate in a rookie tournament in Kitchener Ontario. The leafs, Sens, and penguins prospects will also participate in that tourney. There is still a possibility of him not returning if he gets signed and impresses enough at camp.
Mathew Konan
Matt Konan Will be heading to Anaheim where their rookie camp starts Saturday, Sept. 5. The ducks will play a 3 game mini-series against the San Jose Sharks Prospects. Konan will be back this year.
Linden Vey
THe L.A kings camp get underway with their first practice sessions on Sunday September 6th. The Kings will faceoff against the Phoenix Coyotes prospects for 2 games on the 9th, and 10th. Linden will be back this year.
Tyler Ennis
Buffalo's prospects hit the Ice Tuesday, September 8 at 11:00 a.m. Tyler Ennis is still not signed, which is unusually strange. If he does sign a contract consider that 100% official he wont return, as the only way he comes back is if contract talks fail.
Thomas Kundratek
The New York Rangers will also play in the Travers City prospects tournament. The rangers first game is on Sunday. Seeing Kundratek in a tiger uniform is still a decent possibility.
---
I'm a little surprised to not hear Wacey Hamilton's name being invited anywhere. Those injuries last year might have been a big factor in not getting noticed.
I will probably scour the web the next couple week looking for any info on how these guys do at their respective camps, and will keep you posted unless the massive college homework loads get in the way, haha.
Also it has been pointed out that the tigers have cut a few more players but specifics haven't been given. The tigers play 2 exhibition games this week vs P.A, and Saskatoon.

Tigers make Some Cuts part 2 + interesting reads
This is a response to the first article I posted this morning
TO me the recent article in the Medicine Hat News about Training camp cuts is a little unclear, or I just plainly misread it. If i misread it no doubt countless others have as well.
Quoting
"Notable cuts on Tuesday included Michael Forsyth, an eighth-round (175th overall) pick from the 2007 draft; Sam Dezman, an eighth-round (168th) pick from 2006; and Medicine Hat’s Dallas Jorgensen, who is expected to try out for Medicine Hat’s midget AAA team.
Fifteen-year-old draft picks Hunter Shinkaruk, Dawson MacAuley, Jayden Hart, Kyle Becker and Connor Garden also lasted through to the cut."
--------
I quickly skimmed over the article this morning and I read the article as saying, the 15 yr olds lasted through the Tuesday's cuts. However after re-reading the article the News could have meant that the 15 yr olds lasted all the way until the Tuesday's cuts?
1 poster "bluedino" pointed this out to me after saying their are no 15yr olds left in camp.
IF that is true there are more like 10-11ish cuts to come rather the the 5-6ish cuts I mentioned in the previous post. Its still a little unclear to me.
------------------------------------------------------------
How about more confusing News.
2 HF articles came out recently that have me wondering if the Tigers overager situation is about to get a little more complicated.
Hfboards every year come out with a list of each NHL organizations top 20 prospects. I believe these are written by hardcore knowledgeable fans, some with inside info.
Thomas Kundratek
They list Thomas Kundratek in the #12 spot in the Rangers prospect list. In the article they say he will play in the Travers City prospect's tournament then will get sent back to juniors.
http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/11386/rangers_top20_prospects_fall2009/
Tyler Ennis
Is listed 3rd overall in Buffalo's System. What do they have to say about him?
I quote.
"Given Buffalo’s depth at offensive-minded forwards, it is likely that Ennis will spend another full season in juniors. He is closer to being NHL-ready than the vast majority of players his age (soon-to-be 20), and will rise quickly once he makes the jump to the pros. "
Link To article
Scroll down the page to find the quotes on both players, rather than clicking on their name link at the top.
Thought a few fans Tiger fans would be interested in those 2 pieces, if they have not already read them.

Tigers Make some cuts
26 cuts to be exact. The only cuts mentioned by the news were Michael Forsyth, Sam Dezman, and Dallas Jorgensen, who is expected to try out for Medicine Hat’s midget AAA team.
The News reported Fifteen-year-old draft picks Hunter Shinkaruk, Dawson MacAuley, Jayden Hart, Kyle Becker and Connor Garden also lasted through. Which means Nicholas Anderson, and Riley Sheen were cut.
There are 35 players left in Camp. SO the real competition for spots begins.
The tigers don't have many more cuts to make. I would estimate about 5-6 left, not counting the 5 ineligible 15 yr olds.

The First of September
Someone on Tigers roars and purrs commented that the 15yr olds from northern Alberta were released back to their home teams, and that a few players were released from the practice group that stayed behind in Medicine Hat. No word on any specifics.
I was doing some google"ing" yesterday and found an interesting stick-handling video made by Hunter Shinkaruk on youtube. At least it looks alot like him and his name is in the video title
In the clip it looks like he is in his house, juggling a street hockey ball with a hockey stick. He looks like he has really good hand eye coordination.
If you have a minute or two to kill the video is here.

Exhibition Game 3: Oil Kings 5 Tigers 3
The Edmonton Oil Kings 3rd Annual Pre-season Invitational Tournament, presented by Elite Sportswear and Awards, wrapped up tonight with the Oil Kings up against the Medicine Hat Tigers.
The Oil Kings held the territorial advantage early on, but could not generate any good scoring chances. Edmonton gets the first man advantage, but it’s the Tigers who pounce. Trent Ouellette sets up Emerson Etem on a nice cross crease feed, for the short hander. The Oil Kings compile the problem by taking two minor penalties in a matter of thirty seconds. While shorthanded, goalie Cam Lanigan keeps it a one goal game with some good saves, including a great stop on a partial break away by the Tigers Curtis Valk. Back at five on five, the Oil Kings apply more pressure, but Tiger tender Kyle Birch is sharp, when called upon. A late power play proves fruitful for the Oil Kings. Keegan Lowe steps up from the point and finds Dylan Wruck at the far dot. He one times it home, the period ends 1 – 1.
The Tigers take the lead back, early in the second, on an odd man rush. Mike Forsyth slips a nice pass to Mitch Deacon, who beats Lanigan with a nifty move in tight, to make it 2 – 1. A couple minutes later, the Oil Kings power play strikes to tie it. Griffin Reinhart’s point shot bounces off a Tiger defender, and flutters over Birch. We are tied at 2. The 15 year old defenseman has shown maturity beyond his years in his first Main Camp and Pre-season with the team.
“I am back to West Vancouver to play with the Northwest Giants,” says the Oil Kings first round pick from 2009. “I hope to get a chance to play with the Oil Kings when they visit Vancouver or Chilliwack. I learned a lot playing against the bigger guys and now realize how much faster you have to make your decisions. It was a great experience”
The Tigers respond with a man up goal of their own. Cody Carlson rips a pass from the high slot, to the far post, where Kale Kessey tips it in to restore the one goal tiger lead. The second period ends 3 – 2.
The Oil Kings fire it up for the third and score two goals right off the hop. Rhett Rachinski wheeled in off the left wing to score the first, and 11 seconds later Cam Maclise gave the Oil Kings their first lead of the game, at 4 – 3. Edmonton’s Clayton Cumiskey closes out the scoring, by burying his own second chance opportunity. The Oil Kings down the Tigers 5 – 3, and win all three Pre-season Tournament games.
Assistant Coach Rocky Thompson ran the bench while Head Coach Steve Pleau evaluated the team from the stands. Thompson liked the fire the team showed in the third period.
“The guys came out and worked consistently in the third with some energy,” says Thompson. “Our goalies (Lanigan & Brossoit) kept us in it and our guys realized they had a great opportunity to win.”
The Oil Kings Exhibition Schedule continues, on the road, next weekend. Edmonton will travel to Stettler to take on the Red Deer Rebels, Friday September 4th. The two teams will meet again the very next night in the Battle in Oil Country, presented by Enmax, in Leduc, Saturday September 5th.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the tigers cut a few guys tomorrow after evaluating the weekend. The tigers dressed an extremely unexperienced and rookie lineup during the weekend. This tournament was basically meant to evaluate the young players, and give those 15 yr olds a taste of the whl.

Exhibition Game 2: Tigers 4 Regina 3
Game 3 of the Oil Kings Pre-season Invitational Tournament presented by Elite Sportswear and Awards featured the Medicine Hat Tigers and the Regina Pats. Both teams were coming off opening day losses and looking to rebound. The Pats were shut out 4 – 0 by the Oil Kings, while the Tigers fell 5 – 2 at the hands of the Moose Jaw Warriors.
The Pats score first on the power play in the opening period. Tomas Hricina’s point shot finds its way through a screen and past Tiger goalie Tyler Bunz. The first ends 1 – 0 with the shots on goal even at eight.
The second period begins with a scrap, as Thomas Carr of the Tigers, and Regina’s Matt Delahey go toe to toe. Still in the first minute, the Tigers take an additional penalty, and the Pats capitalize with the man advantage. Alex Pym walks in from the point and goes top corner on Bunz to make it 2 – 0. The Tigers get on the board late in the frame. Emerson Etem sets up Kale Kessey for a one timer, its 2 – 1. Regina gets it back in less than a minute, when Michal Poletin scores to make it 3 – 1. The gates are open; the Tigers Emerson Etem scores a man up and the period ends 3 – 2 for the Pats.
The Tigers tie it up early in the third. After a great break out, Mike Forsyth ends up tapping in a feed from Curtis Valk. It is all even at 3. In the scrum after the goal, Regina takes a penalty, and the Tigers capitalize. Etem scores his second of the game to make it 4 – 3 the Hat, and that is your final.
The Oil Kings Pre-season Invitational features two more games today. The Red Deer Rebels play the Moose Jaw Warriors at 3:00 pm. The Oil Kings take on the Swift Current Broncos at 7:00 pm. The Tournament wraps up with two more games Sunday. The full schedule is available at oilkings.ca.

Spencer Edwards continued his stellar pre-season with the Moose Jaw Warriors by netting a hat trick in a 5-2 Warriors win over the Medicine Hat Tigers Friday afternoon.
The Warriors will return to the ice Saturday afternoon when they face the Red Deer Rebels at the Edmonton Oil Kings third annual pre-season invitational tournament in the Alberta capital.
The Warriors stormed out of the gates in their first pre-season game as they out-shot the Tiger 15-4 in the first period and built a 4-0 lead four minutes into the second period.
Rookie defenceman Joel Edmundson opened the scoring for the Warriors on the power play and Czech rookie Antonin Honejsek also scored for the Tribe.
Shayne Gwinner, who was one of four 1994-born players in the lineup, picked up a pair of assists for the Warriors who also got helpers from Jakub Herman, Corey Scott, Jesse Paradis, Kevin Smith, Matt MacKay, Morgan Rielly and Dylan McIlrath.
The Warriors only dressed six veterans.
Hunter Shinkaruk and Michael Forsyth replied for the Tigers.
Brandon Glover made 21 as saves as he returned from injury and played the entire game in goal for the Warriors.
For Medicine Hat, Tyler Bunz allowed four goals on 27 shots, while former Warrior goalie Kyle Birch stopped 10 of the 11 shots he faced.
Warriors forward Joey Kornelsen was cut for eight stitches on the chin and left the game with a mild concussion in the second period. The Tigers were assessed a five minute major on the play.

Moose Jaw Times Article

Spencer Edwards continued his stellar pre-season with the Moose Jaw Warriors by netting a hat trick in a 5-2 Warriors win over the Medicine Hat Tigers Friday afternoon.
The Warriors will return to the ice Saturday afternoon when they face the Red Deer Rebels at the Edmonton Oil Kings third annual pre-season invitational tournament in the Alberta capital.
The Warriors stormed out of the gates in their first pre-season game as they out-shot the Tiger 15-4 in the first period and built a 4-0 lead four minutes into the second period.
Rookie defenceman Joel Edmundson opened the scoring for the Warriors on the power play and Czech rookie Antonin Honejsek also scored for the Tribe.
Shayne Gwinner, who was one of four 1994-born players in the lineup, picked up a pair of assists for the Warriors who also got helpers from Jakub Herman, Corey Scott, Jesse Paradis, Kevin Smith, Matt MacKay, Morgan Rielly and Dylan McIlrath.
The Warriors only dressed six veterans.
Hunter Shinkaruk and Michael Forsyth replied for the Tigers.
Brandon Glover made 21 as saves as he returned from injury and played the entire game in goal for the Warriors.
For Medicine Hat, Tyler Bunz allowed four goals on 27 shots, while former Warrior goalie Kyle Birch stopped 10 of the 11 shots he faced.
Warriors forward Joey Kornelsen was cut for eight stitches on the chin and left the game with a mild concussion in the second period. The Tigers were assessed a five minute major on the play.

Surprises
Rasmus Daamgard Did not Report
Bo Montgomery Did not report. I'm shocked and disappointed in that. I thought Bo was headed for a really good season. The tigers loose a huge physical presence.
So Spots available, based on 2 extra Dmen and 3 extra forwards
Didn't count Kale Kessey as a veteran
1 potential Goalie
3 Defenseman
5 Forwards
Expendables:
IMO Taylor Gal and Josh Koper could/should be on the trading block
Thoughts
I'm a little well, not worried but concerned about the shape of the Tigers Defense for this season. A good first line but the tigers lack depth after that. Konan, Carlson, and Carr were depth players last year. They will need to step up their game to provide a solid 2nd pairing.
Forwards
TO me the forwards group looks like an average group with potential. Good top 2 lines. After that it drops off. They'll need guys other than Okal, Vey,king,hamilton,grant,cameron to score some goals. If that doesn't happen offense could be spotty(score a bunch here, then go dry for a couple games)
Pre-Preseason Prediction:(subject to change as we haven't seen them play yet)
I think the Tigers will have a similar copy of last years team, with hopefully better talent in their depth players. I expect the tigers to finish around the middle of the pack when the season ends. Maybe a notch higher because of excellent coaching.
**Removed**
Breakout Player: Well I was going to say Bo Montgomery. I thought he had a bright future. This year I'm going to Pick Tristan King, and Mathew Konan.
Triston King has a very good skillset. He will get to play more minutes this year, on the top 2 lines.
Mathew Konan I thought his speed improved alot between his 16 and 17 yr old season. He is big has a long reach and getting faster. I think he can develop into a solid 2 way defensman.

Interesting Trade Rumours
There was an article today in the Prince Albert Daily Herald, they interviewed Travis Dunstall on his thoughts about possibly joining their team?
""I'm going to wait and see where I get traded to. For a 20-year-old, it's tough to play on a weaker team. "Obviously, anyone would like the Calgarys or Vancouvers - teams that are always contenders and good. It's my last year, so it would be nice to be on a winning team."
Dunstall said he hasn't heard from prospective teams, but he's ready to entertain offers. "I would have to talk to the coach to see where they're at and what their plans are," said the five-foot-10, 180-pound winger.
"Their D-men look good and their goaltending is not too bad. Their forwards are a little younger. It looks like (the Raiders) could get a little older, for sure."
In the interim, Dunstall plans to skate with the junior A Grande Prairie Storm, the defending Alberta Junior Hockey League champion."I'm probably going to head up there later today," he said "They're going to have another good team this year.""
Penner trade bait?
A trade for Dunstall might enable the Raiders to send holdout forward Cole Penner to his hometown team, Medicine Hat.
Penner, the fourth overall pick in the 2006 bantam draft, played just 17 games with Prince Albert over the past two years.

Interesting rumour but as it stands now it is just a rumour. What do you tiger fans think? Does Cole Penner Interest you?
More News to come a bit later...
