Apparently there will be regional combines in QC and Edmonton prior to the main e-camp in late March. As I understand it, the top few guys from each regional camp would go to e-camp in addition to the ~50 players who have already received invites.

This seems like an efficient way of expanding the pre-draft scouting data and give evaluation opportunities to many more players. It also seems like it makes Forde's NIC entirely redundant.
