Alexis Bernier

I'm just going to run through these real quick.

Alexis Bernier, Lucas Dragacevich, Ryden Evers, not Riker Evans, Jagger, Furcus, David Goyette, Caden Hamill, Tyson Jugnauth, Andre Lashko, Julius Miettinen, Ty Nelson, Yanni Newman, Caden Price, Carson Rakoff, Leighton Road, Edward Chalet, and Nathan Villeneuve.

Jagger, Furcus, and Yanni Newman probably being the most interesting of those.

And then for the sake of completeness, Brody Gillespie, Justin Janicki, and Max Korovic.

Expect cuts among the fourth-line centers and maybe one of the lower-tier defensemen.

Josh Mahura and Alexis Bernier will be fighting for those last spots.

Ouch.

Alex from Kent asks, is Joey Deckard the clear starter over Philip Grubauer, or is this going to be a dogfight until December?

People get my name wrong all the time, so, uh, we're, we're there, we're there.

Anyways, for the defensemen, you had Alexi, uh, Alexis Bernier, uh, Lucas Dragicevic, and Kaiden Hamill, Tyson Jugnauth, K- Finn Karns, Ty Nelson, Kaiden Price, Will Reynolds, Rylan Singh.

And then also goalies are Max Korovkin, an invite, and Nikke Koko to round out this rookie camp for 2026.

And what did we see? Well, to be honest, we saw a little bit of good and a little bit of improvement, but also this franchise and just, uh, with where they're going, we need to see continuous improvement.

You know, we got the Wright and Evers, Riker Evans, Nike Koko, Kapo Kako.

There's, you know, the Alexis Bernier and Maddie Berniers.

Thankfully, we have been liberated from Jaden Schwartz, Justin Schultz.

So we don't have that to worry about anymore.

And then, you know, okay, so if you have McCann, Beniers, Everly, McCann, sorry, McMahon.

Oh, yeah, that's the other one.

The Ryden Evers, Riker Evans, you know, Alexis Berniers, Manny Beniers, and Cabo Caco, Nika Coco, Jared McCann, Bobby McMahon.

It's too much, Jason.
