Three Sea Dogs earn NHL camp invites

At least three Saint John Sea Dogs have been invited to NHL camps in the coming weeks.

The Sea Dogs announced earlier this week via social media that forward Brady Burns has been invited to Edmonton Oilers training camp; defenseman Charlie DesRoches has received an invite to Buffalo Sabres rookie camp; and forward Peter Reynolds will attend Columbus Blue Jackets training camp. 

Reynolds was surprisingly not selected in last weekend's NHL Draft. Burns and DesRoches, meanwhile, have been eligible for each of the past two NHL Drafts.

Reynolds, playing in his first QMJHL season, registered 15 goals and 16 assists in 33 games. He also had a goal and three assists in six playoff games.

Burns registered 18 goals 20 assists in 32 games this past season. He added five goals and two helpers in five playoff contests.

DesRoches had four goals and 22 assists in 32 regular season games in 2020-21. He added four assists in five playoff matches.

Several Sea Dogs should be attending NHL rookie and/or training camps over the next couple months. 
Jeremie Poirier (2020, 3rd round CGY), William Villeneuve (2020, 4th round TOR), Ryan Francis (2020, 5th round CGY), William Dufour (2020, 5th round NYI) and Cam MacDonald (2021, 5th round TBL) have all been drafted into the NHL while more could receive free agent invites.
