The Blues brought WHL veteran winger Carson Stadnyk to the Prospect Camp back in July. They must have liked what they saw, because he's the only one of the half-dozen free agents at the camp to be asked to join the Baby Blues in Traverse City this week.
An invitation to join the Blues' prospects at Traverse City has led to a spot on the team's Reserve List several times in the recent past. Beginning with Mark Cundari back in 2009, and continuing through Jake Doty and Dmitri Sergeev in the last two seasons, a spot with the "Baby Blues" in the Traverse City Prospect Tournament has opened the door for young undrafted players to have a shot at their pro hockey dreams.
