Prospect Info: CHL, NCAA & European Prospects Thread | Part XII

[Devils731]

Reilly Walsh scored two goals for harvard last night. 4 points (2G 2A) in his first 3 NCAA games

He certainly looked like a firecracker at prospects camp.

 

[devilsblood]

Ha, just noticed that while Joey Anderson is off to a slow start in his sophomore season. 2-1-3 in 8 games.

His brother Michael started his freshman season on fire. 3-4-7 in 9.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

It looks like Talvitie is having a nice season

wonder if he skips going to Penn State and we sign him this summer?

I doubt it. He's playing in the U20 league to remain eligible for NCAA. He should be dominating that league in his +1 year or else he would be heading to bust territory.

Yeah the jump from that league to the AHL would be very difficult for him. He can take his time and play against some big guys in the NCAA and get use to that and North American ice.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

he'd be heading into bust territory ~20 games after being drafted?

whew thats a spicy take

He's maybe my favorite Devils prospect. He's dynamic as f***.

He has 1 fewer point than Cale Makar in 1/3 the games.

We can really use a Bratt-type boom prospect on the back end.

 

[My3Sons]

Hopefully Walsh plays well all season so Shero makes a big push to sign him this offseason. No need to wait on a Harvard player who shows promise.

Bust might've been a little over the top. But if he is going to have a promising future, he needs to be far and away better than his competition in that league. Most guys his age are playing on pro Swedish or Finnish teams and producing a good amount of points.

If you go to Harvard, you might as well stay 4 years and get your degree.

Could get one in Davies.

Walsh was highly heralded pre-draft.

Going by that footage, he looks like a future all-star defenseman. If he plays with that kind of pace, vision, creativity and attention to detail consistently I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the team next year.

 

[Billdo]

So silly

they can still get their degree if they leave school early

Chainey's my pick for late round hopeful.

Really not digging those Harvard jerseys. #'s are real tough to read.

If he plays as well as the scouting staff expects just offer him the ELC now and work out something so he can attend summers at Harvard and complete his degree. If he gets to UFA he’s subject to way too many influences to be comfortable with. If he signs his ELC he can always go back to Harvard when hockey ends. If he plays in the NHL the Harvard degree is just window dressing.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Chainey's my pick for late round hopeful.

He certainly is playing well.

 

[Zippy316]

Chainey's my pick for late round hopeful.

In all honesty, just about every late round pick we've had looks very interesting.

Maltsev, Seney, Rykov, Davies, and Talvitie are the ones I have some hopes for.

If two of those guys contribute something better than fringe play they should make Castron co-GM.

Walsh was named ECAC rookie of the week.

But you don't need to bring him in after his freshman year, we can wait another year or two. Unless of coarse he is ready. But in general, I think most guys who go college can use 1 or 2 years of development.

Offer him a top ELC and if he signs it great if he goes back you’ve shown him the love
