LittleBallofHate Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Another article (by Julie Robenhymer! I guess she's still writing for nhl.com occasionally) about some of our prospects, including Walsh & Davies. https://www.nhl.com/devils/news/prospect-pipeline-devils-walsh-turning-heads-at-harvard/c-292754192 Funny snippet on Walsh (Liberal Arts schools ): As he settles in on the ice at Harvard, Walsh is also settling into the classrooms. While he's yet to decide on a major, he's fulfilling some core curriculum requirements this semester with classes in writing, sociology, Chinese philosophy and Zulu ...

LittleBallofHate Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Also, from last night, Maltsev had a good game vs. Canada: Mikhail Maltsev, a New Jersey Devils prospect, scored two goals, including the game-winner in the third period, to help Russia defeat the Western Hockey League 4-3 in the second game of the 2017 Canada Russia Series, at Credit Union iPlex in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, on Tuesday. https://www.nhl.com/news/devils-prospect-mikhail-maltsev-scores-twice-in-russia-win-over-whl/c-292748252 FWIW, another one of our prospects, Yegor Zaitsev (D), is the Captain of the Team Russia U20. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0asterleav1ns Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Can anyone talk me into not being super pessimistic about Walsh? There's alot of motivation for him to stay in school for the 4 years and get his degree being as its Harvard and just go the FA route. I'd actually hesitate to draft any players going to Harvard.

There's more motivation to sign a pro contract and get paid. People really need to relax with this guy, not every damn college player pulls a Vesey or a Kerfoot.

I remember after we drafted him, he had some really good things to say about commitment to the Devils. That was encouraging. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonDreads Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 There's nothing to just kids from Harvard looking to ditch their NHL teams, Vesey just seemed like a flat-out punk with how he treated the Preds and the school he went to is irrelevant, with Kerfoot it's probably on the Devils not trying to get him signed before the end of his Junior year. No one talks about Tyler Moy, who could have left Nashville in the summer after his senior year at Harvard but decided to commit to the team that drafted him. I won't worry about Walsh unless I'm given a significant reason to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's alot of motivation for him to stay in school for the 4 years and get his degree being as its Harvard and just go the FA route. I'd actually hesitate to draft any players going to Harvard. If he really continues to play very well, he has a strong incentive to sign with the Devils after his freshman or sophomore year as it puts him closer to playing out his entry level contract than if he stays at school for all four years. That's why you never see real college superstars waiting things out to become free agents, it's almost always the late bloomer types. The fact that it's a Harvard degree shouldn't change the equation. First, he presumably wants to make a career out of playing hockey, which doesn't require a college degree. Second, if it's that important to him, he can actually take classes during the summers, and get his degree while playing pro hockey. I'm pretty sure Santini did just that at BU this offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that the fact you also get a Harvard degree is part of the reason a lot of those guys go there. But you're right, if that is important, they can figure it out for sure.

nessus Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Is there a reason they kept him in NJ for so long? Maybe for followup with the team doctors? Or it could be that he would get a few games if there were other injuries, based on his injury timeline. If it's just to keep him in the team environment, that's pretty cool too.

He was injured while here in NJ. I'm sure they wanted to keep him around the team and have him treat with their medical staff and trainers as part of his recovery, and they had the ability to keep him here since he was injured while playing with the big club.

LittleBallofHate Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Thought this was a good sign: Todd Cordell Retweeted Aly Munro @AlyMunro34m34 minutes ago More JR says Mike McLeod didn’t want to leave practice yesterday, was out there two straight hours requesting more drills. The captain is centering bro Ryan & rookie Washkurak tonight. _____ ETA: Ian Pulz @HockeyPulz7m7 minutes ago More If anybody is wondering how McLeod is doing so far, he's been a beast,,,speedy with great puck protection...a pain on the forecheck. This is prime Mike McLeod #NJDevils Edited November 18, 2017 by LittleBallofHate 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBallofHate Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Since it's his first game of the year, one more update on Mikey McLeod: Ian Pulz @HockeyPulz My goodness is Mike McLeod fast. Easily carving through the neutral zone, causing havoc on the forecheck and setting up lots of plays. #NJDevils And Michael McLeod scores a goal in his first game back in Mississauga! #NJDevils 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Aarne Talvitie signed with Penn State. 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?
