Not including the recently signed Alexander Donovan, the 18-year-old University of Denver commit who signed with the Sea Dogs a couple weeks ago, eight forwards, two defensemen and two goaltenders have been added.
One noticeable attribute: size. There is some serious height and weight amongst this group of additions.
These adds along with the incoming draft class (both from the QMJHL Entry Draft and CHL Import Draft) should make for an interesting training camp. It's safe to say that Saint John's roster could get quite a revamp compared to what they ended last season with.
The team is expected to hold a development camp next month but no details have been announced yet.
Here's a quick look at the group of invites.
