So does he go on the usual college timeline in that he has until after his senior year to sign, or is it all based on age? He has until his senior year to sign, so we have his right for a minimum of 4 years after this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 On 11/18/2017 at 12:49 PM, Marshall said: Are you surprised guys who are vying for NHL roster spots tear it up when they go down two levels? In the regular season + playoffs in the OHL last season, McLeod put up 38 goals and 62 assists for 100 points in 77 GP, and is now the fourth-oldest player on his team...he'll be 20 on 2/3/2018. Sadly we're not going to learn a thing about McLeod this season...he's going to shred it in the O this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the reddit article: Nikita Popugaev has been chugging along in the Russian 2nd division of professional hockey, but recently made his KHL debut for CSKA Moscow, where he's playing mostly 4th line minutes on the same line as former Devil, Vladimir Zharkov.

Some things that were nice to see: McLeod has 5 points in 5 games since returning to Mississauga. That'll certainly go up quite a bit once he finds his groove. Studenic has been producing a lot since his slow start. I don't remember exactly what it was but I think he was at less than 0.5 points per game at around the 10 game mark, and now has 20 points in 24 games. Looks like Boqvist is healthy! I've been anxious to follow his progress this year. Some of the D in the system are really producing a lot offensively (Sissons, Chainey, Davies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessus Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 43 minutes ago, EdgeControl said: do any of them have size AND speed? it looks like our defense needs to be fixed via the draft I agree. Walsh and Davies are not small, but they definitely are not big guys either. Of all the guys in the system, I feel best about Yegor Rykov, who has size and speed, but has not produced much offensively, despite being on the best team in the KHL. This is not true for other leagues he has played in, as well as international competitions, where he has been able to contribute offensively. He is under contract with SKA St. Petersburg through 2018-19. Hopefully by then he will have rounded out his game and will be ready and willing to join the Devils.

CommonDreads Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Prelim rosters are starting to come out for the World Juniors, Devils prospects named to prelim rosters so far: Canada: C Michael McLeod (2016, R1) USA: RW Joey Anderson (2016, R3) D Reilly Walsh (2017, R3) Russia: F Mikhail Maltsev (2016, R4) D Yegor Zaitsev (2017, R7) Sweden: C Jesper Boqvist (2017, R2) C/RW Fabian Zetterlund (2017, R3) Guys I would also expect to get prelim nods at the very least would be Marian Studenic for Slovakia, Jesper Boqvist and Fabian Zetterlund for Sweden, and McLeod should be a lock to make Team Canada as either the 1st or 2nd line center. Surprised Aarne Talvitie didn't get a nod for Finland, thought he had a strong case to make the team. EDIT: Boqvist and Zetterlund both named to Sweden's Prelim roster as I thought they would, McLeod named to Canada Edited December 6, 2017 by CommonDreads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 so that Jacob Mcdonald guy in Binghamton that they mentioned during the game last night. 21 pts (9 goals, 12 assists) in 20 games as a Dman. 24 years old. Does he have any NHL potential? Would be great to have another dude popping out of nowhere to help the blue line in a near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know much about him, only time I've seen him play was at the development camps over the summer and he didn't stick out too much for me. Sounds like his biggest asset is his point shot, so if he ever becomes an NHL level defenseman it seems like it might be in the mold of someone like Jason Garrison.

Devilsfan118 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 So forgive me if this isn't the right place to post this, as I guess he's technically not a prospect anymore since he made the NHL roster, but I saw that the Devils are not going to permit Bratt to play in the world juniors. An obvious decision in my mind, no brainer for the Devils, but will there be any backlash/blowback from the hockey community on this? Or is this pretty much par for the course with elite young talent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is par for the course, it's rare an NHL team gives up a good young player for the World Juniors, though it never stops international teams from asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 For those of you that like such things, NHL Network is showing a junior game between Barrie and Oshawa starting right now. Barrie has the Russian kid that’s supposed to go #2 in the upcoming draft. Svechnikov (sp?) its also the teddy bear toss game which is always cool if you’ve never seen it. All fans bring a bear to the game and throw it on the ice after 1st goal by the home team. They get collected and go to charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Couldn't find a Bingo 17/18 thread, so I'll ask here: what's up with Jacob MacDonald in Binghamton? 4 years at Cornell, now 24, LHD, 110 ECHL games but since middle of last season in Albany and now in Bingo. 46 points in 57 AHL games, 22 in 22 this season. Point production makes him seem pretty interesting, and since he's on an AHL deal he can be signed by any NHL team to a contract. Why haven't the Devils done it? Currently at 45 SPC so there's room. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=60064 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonDreads Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) I believe MacDonald would be waivers exempt, since it would be his first NHL contract and he's only 24. From the age of 24 a player is no longer waiver exempt after either 2 pro seasons or 60 NHL games, whichever comes first.
