Handing Out Camp Invites (Jul 28)

Last year, we didn't really see key training camp invites until the middle of August and really, we might not see them until then this year, as I wouldn't necessarily consider Maxim Lapierre as a key camp invite, but it's something in these slow news days.  The New York Rangers have offered the 31-year old pest a shot at their camp in September and you could certainly argue that the Rangers have spots available to fill on their roster or at least question marks that they'll need to turn into periods.

Lapierre has been nothing more than a fringe player in his NHL career, topping out at 28 points in Montreal in 2009 and split time between Switzerland and Sweden last season, trying to get back on track.  I wouldn't hold high hopes, nor would I have him projected very high... this was just an excuse to hit the publish button.
