It's getting ever so close, guys!
The Penguins announced their Prospects Camp today on the website. It will be held in Kitchener, Ontario beginning on September 9th and lasting through September 15th.
Coaches from the Penguins AHL affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Dan Bylsma and Todd Reirden, will be on the ice with the players while GM Ray Shero, assistant GM Chuck Fletcher, head coach Michel Therrien and assistant coaches Andre Savard and Mike Yeo will all be in attendance at the camp.
Among the noteable players mentioned in the Camp article on the Penguins webpage are AHL players Alex Goligoski & Luca Caputi; QMJHL player Kevin Veilleux; and 2008 NHL draft picks Nathan Moon & Patrick Killeen. The Penguins coaching staff will keep a close eye on these players and expect good things from them (Goligoski is already being mentioned among the players who may fill the spot left by Whitney).
Defenseman Robert Bertuzzo will not be attending either the Prospects or Training Camps as he is recovering from shoulder surgery he had during the off-season (4 - 6 months recovery time).

The camp will involve a few days of practice before the players compete in games against other prospects from the Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and Florida Panthers.
