More Players Join Albany Devils Camp

Here is Albany's initial press release on the New Jersey Devils sending 15 players to AHL camp and others back to their junior teams.

Per Pete Dougherty of The Times Union, the players in Albany's camp will be joined by C Tim Sestito, C Rod Pelley, and W/D Harry Young who cleared waivers on Friday. Also joining camp are Dmitry Goldenkov and Arem Demkov. He confirms that RW Alexandre Carrier and C Kelly Zajac have joined camp.

I suppose the two Europeans are in camp on tryouts:

RW/C Artem Demkov of Belarus who spent the last 2 years with Elmira - ECHL (106 GP 43-54-97 +10 58 PIM) and has represented Belarus at the WHC twice, including last year. The ECHL site list him at 5'10, 180 lbs. who shoots right and is about to turn 24. He did leave Elmira in January of last year to play with Hamburg - DEL (12 GP 0-1-1 -3 8 PIM) but it appears he re-signed with Elmira in July.

LW Dmitri Goldenkov of Russia who has bounced around in the Russian leagues as of late. Career numbers - KHL: 26 GP 1-1-2 -2 4 PIM, VHL: 63 GP 6-14-20 -6 55 PIM, MHL: 84 GP 34-36-70 +22 50 PIM. The VHL is the professional league just under the KHL, the MHL is Russia's major junior league. He's listed at 5'11, 183 lbs. who shoots left and will be 23 in late February. He attended the New York Islanders developmental camp in 2012.

Devils prospect G Maxime Clermont did spend last year with Elmira, so I wonder if the Devils may be sending players there this season? They are the Senators affiliate though. If I had to guess, I think the ECHL guys will be spread out amongst two teams.
