Prospect Info: #192 D Jeremy Davies

[devilsblood]

I'm always wary of overagers in general, but 7th round, kid's got some talent, going to college so the team can take their time on him, can't really complain. Good luck to him.

And with a Dec b-day he's an older +1 draft year.

But let's say we drafted him last year in the 7th, and he then went out and tied for the team lead in points, and was the leading d-man point producer in the USHL. We'd prob say he had a great +1 year.

That's a good way to look at it, I agree.

Castron mentioned in a post-draft interview that they almost drafted another "buddy" of McLeod/Bastian but he got snapped up right before our pick. Mississauga D Austin Osmanski went #189 to Buffalo.

I think that might've been too many Steelheads.

They would have replaced Sarnia as our OHL affiliate.

Osmanski had 10 points in 65 games. Thank god we didn't draft him

In all fairness he was playing on the third defensive pairing

 

[AfroThunder396]

I assumed the only reason Buffalo drafted Osmanski was because he was a local kid. Kind of interesting we were interested also.

Overage defenseman who led the USHL in points. Really no expectations for this pick. I really like it though overall. Take a swing and maybe get lucky.

Devils got lucky alright... Davies has developed into a fantastic talent

 

[Emperoreddy]

NU!!!

Davies is a phenomenal skater and smart puck mover... he’s going to be a high end point producing defenseman

With the speed game the Devils have, adding Davies is going to be a treat... he’s the perfect defenseman for the Devils system

Think Shayne Gostisbehere

thanks! that would be amazing for a 7th rounder.

 

[Sens]

He’s also averaging 28 minutes a game this season, all situations

 

[Call Me Al]

is he really ready to make a jump to pros after this season? just never expected that out of a 7th rounder so assumed it would be at least another year

I could see the comparison in physical size, style and college point production.

But that's a big billing to live up to with Gost.

Have you seen him enough to compare the skating as that is what makes Gost such a dynamic player, thanks.

 

[Sens]

He caught my eye last year and just flourished this season... I’m a big fan of Dylan Sikura but Davies kept jumping out at me too.

He was very much the engine of that offense this year... he is elite at breaking the puck out with his skating, man a treat to watch

Did not look out of place with team Canada at the Spangler cup

do you know if he's AHL-eligible next year?

 

[Sens]

I think he’ll go pro when his season is finished and join the Devils on the cup run

 

[The Devil In I]

Hell of an assist @ 1:38. No one was expecting him to throw it across like that.

lol now i'm feeling like we're getting bamboozled

He's a promising prospect but Let's pump the breaks

College hockey notebook: Unheralded Huskies Jeremy Davies, Ryan Shea backbone blue line

“They’ve elevated their game. They’re now playing 25-28 minutes per game. They have quick recoveries. They can skate 40- or 45-second shifts and by the time they come back to the bench they’re ready to go — and they’re only going to get better.”

“Jeremy’s offensive skills are through the roof, way past anybody in our league.”

 

[Darkauron]

Yeah.. Stop hyping him up. Just gonna disappoint yourself. Let him get some pro games first.
