Prospect Info: Devils select Graham Black (C-Swift Current WHL) 135th Overall

A Chris Kelly comparable? Nice.

Jared compared him to Boyd Gordon. Either way I`d be very happy.

This pick just screams solid player.

Yeah, I really liked what I read about him.

 

[Saugus]

Our scouts seem to think he might have the potential to be more too. His offence suddenly showed up this year, he might be a late bloomer that can translate that to the pro game. We'll see.

Although I love the D man, Black is my sleeper pick. I think this kid is gonna be a baller.

I am friends with Graham down here in Regina. Great guy, he is super pumped and hard working at everything he does. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see him in the NHL in a few years!

How often have you seen him play?

Glad to see him signed. It's too bad he's not eligible for the playoffs in Albany.

Black seemed like a poor skater when I saw him in Albany on Saturday, but that was just one viewing.

That's interesting, skating is supposed to be one of bigger strengths.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Skating is suppose to be borderline elite. I wouldn't judge based on a late season game after a long grind in the WHL.
