To streamline your search these are the teams ATT who have not announced a Roster; Boston, Buff., Fla., Ott., Carolina, NJ, NYI, Wash., Chicago, Colorado, Calgary, LA, & SJ. Reilly is of course in Pitts. Camp. Surprisingly, Prapps is not in CBJ Camp. Perhaps still recovering from season ending injury. No surprise but Perry is not in Detroits Camp.

Colorado just released theirs. No one from RPI.

I don't understand some of this. I've seen so many average players with ~10 points last season in the NCAA on some of these rosters, and yet I haven't seen Leppanen, Zieky or even Hayhurst (even though he is transferring, it's worth noting). In addition, I've seen so many average NCAA goaltenders who barely even had .900 save %'s last season, and I haven't seen Owen Savory on any of these rosters. It's quite annoying and frustrating to me, and I don't understand how some of our players are getting passed over for some of these average players.

Cross off NYI, Colorado and Minnesota. This leaves Boston, Buffalo, NJ, Chicago, and Calgary

Although it doesn't explain all surprising invites, some roster spots are cleary taken up by local players. Here's an example of a local (to TN) NAHL player invited to Nashville Predators camp, and I've seen other examples of teams inviting players in their own backyard:

I don't understand why you're surprised that a 22 year old with 3 goals or a 21 year old with 4 goals aren't being invited to NHL camps. There are definitely some bad decisions out there (the Quinnipiac kid comes to mind) but there are many, many better resumes that didn't get a camp invite than those two.
The issue here isn't that those guys aren't being picked for these rosters, it's the 10 other random kids you saw who did get invites just for knowing somebody or being from somewhere.

Do you think that Chris Clark had something to do with getting 5 CCT free agents invited to Columbus? https://nhl.bamcontent.com/images/assets/binary/308030684/binary-file/file.pdf

Re: RPI 2019 Off-Season: Where Did Everyone Go?
I was just giving examples of players from our team who haven't been invited. You do realize though that Hayhurst scored 12 goals the season prior? He also was averaging a point per game prior to his injury on one of the worst offensive teams in the country. Leppanen had 19 points in his freshman season on an offensively deficient team. They are by no means major snubs, but they are for sure better than many random players I have seen who have gotten invites.
On the otherhand, Savory is a major snub. He's the best returning goaltender in the ECAC and had one of the best save percentages in the country despite only being a freshman.

It might. It also doesn’t hurt that the CBJ GM is a former Clarkson player.Do you think that Chris Clark had something to do with getting 5 CCT free agents invited to Columbus? https://nhl.bamcontent.com/images/assets/binary/308030684/binary-file/file.pdf
Re: RPI 2019 Off-Season: Where Did Everyone Go?
Boston just released their Roster. Cross them off.........EDIT; Buffalo just released theirs as well. That leaves Chicago (Chicago’s camp is in July) & Calgary.

1) RPI has, on the whole, very average players.
2) At the time, a key recruit, Burgess, got injured and missed the enitre season at one of these camps. I would bet that has significance in whether an RPI player goes on an invited status.
3) most of the players invited are cannon fodder for the real prospects.
