The Winnipeg Jets released their Development Camp roster, which includes some non-Jet prospects. These free agents are excellent to invite, as it allows the Jets to further scout talent and build relationships, all while filling out the roster to have a more efficient camp.

For the most part invites tend to be a bit of fodder, as it is rare for these players to move beyond ECHL or European pro-level players at the peaks of their career.

But, there can sometimes be talent found.

Brassard is a graduate of the QMJHL, playing four seasons for four different teams. The 6’1 netminder actually was a teammate of Nikolaj Ehlers in 2014-15. Brassard was always given some respect as a potential prospect, but was never drafted. In his first draft eligible year he was ranked 23rd for North American netminders at one point by Central Scouting.

Magnus was a freshman starter in the NCAA. He is an intriguing invite and we talked about him and Nick Kossof previously here. At 6’3 Magnus definitely has size and his 0.912 is not too shabby either.

Kossoff was also discussed previously here on Jets Nation. Kossoff is another NCAA freshmen who has size (6’3) and a decent save percentage (0.918). Unlike Magnus, though, Kossof was the back up for his team, but there is still some promise.

Lotz is a local boy, from St. Adolphe, Manitoba. At 6 feet tall, Lotz is a tad undersized for goaltenders, and his numbers are quite weak even before adjusting for the WHL being a higher save percentage league than the QMJHL or the OHL. At 21-years-old, the Manitoban will be looking for a pro-level job this fall.

Mantha stands at 6’1 and just finished his sophomore season for the University of Alaska-Anchorage. At 23-years-old, Mantha is one of the older players. He has an okay save percentage for the NCAA, but nothing special. He was nominated for the WCHA All-Academic Team, however, so there is some intelligence and/or hard working characteristics for Mantha.

McCrae is a 6’3, right-handed shooting defender in the NCAA. The 21-year-old put up 0.44 point per game pace in his freshman year, which is 44th for undrafted defenders and 8th for freshman undrafted defenders. While his scoring is not dominating like, there is an interesting combination of both size and scoring.

Schueneman is a 6’0, left-handed shooting defender in the NCAA. The 20-year-old freshman put up 0.37 poitns per game, which is tied for 79th for undrafted defenders and 15th for undrafted freshman defenders.

Woods stands at 6’2 feet and shoots left. With a 0.22 point per game pace, the 22-year-old is the lowest scoring invite defender. However, Woods missed the 2014-15 season after being diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a form of bone cancer. Just being able to play one year later is an accomplishment in itself.
