Blackhawks invite McNeill, Danault and 44 others to prospects camp

The Blackhawks' annual prospects camp begins today at Johnny's Ice House West and runs through Monday.

A total of 46 prospects have been invited, including 2011 first-round draft picks Mark McNeill and Phillip Danault, 2010 first-rounder Kevin Hayes and 2009 first-round selection Dylan Olsen.

Other notable invitees are 2011 second-rounds picks Adam Clendening and Brandon Saad, Rob Flick, Byron Froese, Jimmy Hayes, Philippe Paradis and Ludvig Rensfeldt.

There will be two scrimmage sessions Saturday and Monday.

Last July, 18-year-old Nick Leddy had such a strong prospects camp that it led to him making the team out of training camp.

Arbitration cases:No dates have been set for the arbitration hearings for defenseman Chris Campoli and left wing Viktor Stalberg, both of whom filed for salary arbitration Tuesday.

Campoli and Stalberg can continue to negotiate with the Hawks right up until their arbitration hearing, which will be scheduled from July 20 through Aug. 4.

The 27-year-old Campoli is looking for a bump of the $1.4 million he earned last season.

Stalberg had a cap hit of $850,000 last season when he scored just 12 goals in 77 games.

Numbers game:The Hawks' six new additions have been assigned uniform numbers: Steve Montador (5), Sean O'Donnell (6), Dan Carcillo (13), Andrew Brunette (15), Jamal Mayers (22) and Rostislav Olesz (85).
