In all the Coyotes have invited 57 players to camp and it's going to be competitive for pretty much everyone. Lots of spots up for grabs and plenty of quality players for each one. The complete list is after the jump because, well, it's huge. Not any real surprises on the list, Kyle Wellwood and Shane Hnidy will be trying to push the young guys out of the way to get a contract but it won't be any easy job with the talent available this year.
UPDATED: Crossed out those players sent back to Junior or to San Antonio. Kurt Sauer is technically and invite, but still on LTIR.
9/27 Update: 16 Players cut from training camp roster

Some Things I'm interested to see
If Saur’s head will allow him to play
If turris can finally stick with the big team
If oliver can break the lineup (hope so)
After attending the rookie game on Tuesday night I’m not sold on OEL starting the season in the NHL. His decision making and passing weren’t great. Not surprising. The kid has to get used to playing on a different sized rink and playing in a different system. I think he;ll be great down the road, but I think he probably is going to need some time in the AHL.
Out of all the quality young D prospects, I’m actually most excited to see how Goncharov develops long term. I saw flashes of a special guy on Tuesday night. His passing skills are excellent. Like most young D guys, especially those with offensive skills, he needs to work on his positioning and decision making. He needs some seasoning, but the kid has the makings to be an extremely effective NHL d-man.
I think people need to have patience and remember that it takes most defensemen awhile to develop as compared to forwards. Two guys on the current roster, Yandle and Lepisto, are prime examples of that.
"The most important thing - to get to the playoffs and move on." Evgeny Kuznetsov
when i
first started following hockey(1968), the common perception at that time was that a forward could come out of juniors or a year in the minors, and make an impact. dmen took 3-4 years in the minors to develop, and didn’t really start making a contribution in the nhl til they were 34/35 years old. goalies didn’t really develop til they were 27/28. i know bally and Z spoiled us all and raised our expectations, but yandle is more representative of the norm(bobby orr, of course was a complete aberration.) so if gonch or OEL make it this year, don’t expect too much…..
Goncharov
Goncharov will play a few games this year. With the depth of our D he won’t play more then 20 … unless we have some injuries and he develops his game a little more.
Looking forward to an exciting season.
Shot in the dark at roster slots
Goalies-
Bryz & Barb on the Yotes, Bryz starting
Monty & Climie on the Rampage, Monty starting
(2/2)
Defense-
Jovo-Oakie
DMo-Yands
Sami-Schlem(He was the go to call up last year when there was a blue line injury. Assuming they go experience over rookie hype)
OEL or (Going out on a limb here…) Stone as the 7th d-man. Also, if OEL, Gonch, or Stone get the 6th spot, pencil in Schlem as the 7th.
(7/9)
Forwards-
Right
Upshall
Prucha
Vrbata
Stempniak(4/13)
Center
Hanzal
Belanger
Fiddler
Wellwood
Turris(5/18)
Left
Bissonnette
Whitney
Pyatt
Doan
Korpikoski
Wolski(6/24)
Which leaves us at 24… I’m torn for who loses out for that last spot. I’m between Turris, Wellwood, and Korpikoski of all people. Korpi just seems the most expendable of anyone ive left on the roster. But then I remember how great he was during the shootouts, and if the Yotes play like they did last year with as many shoot outs, he might earn his spot just through that.
Tips and GMDM have one hell of a choice in front of them. Especially with Maclean, Bods, and Teeks all scoring so far this preseason.
Sweater-jabs for everyone!
