The performances at the tournament will lead into training camp and could help some of these youngsters earn a roster spot. For others, it’s simply a showcase of their potential down the line. Here are the top prospects and storylines you should follow.
5: Alexis Gravel
Alexis Gravel is the best goalie prospect the Chicago Blackhawks are sending to Traverse City. He has pretty much no chance of seeing time in the NHL this season, barring some incredible set of circumstances.
With that being said, Gravel had an incredible season for the Halifax Mooseheads of the QMJHL that culminated in him being named the CHL Memorial Cup Most Outstanding Goaltender.
