This guy continues to really impress me with his poise and how articulate he is. I'm just hoping his on-ice play fits the bill because he sounds like a stud.

Faust is a college guy and in order to maintain college eligibility, they would have to pay their own way...who knows if he had an invite and just opted to skip it since he's staying in school next year.

Yevenko is also terrible at almost every facet of the sport of hockey, and that probably includes standing on his skates. With Helgeson's legs, he probably had little trouble getting Yevenko to the ice.

Hi, I'm mat.
Any videos of Marty Jr? I heard Jeremy is the better one.

LINDY RUFF NEEDS VIAGRA!!
Magic, I guess.
Just because Jeremy is the better one *now* doesn't mean anything.
We really don't know how either Goaltender will develop.
Could be possible that neither make it to the NHL level OR that BOTH make it. It's still too early to tell....

Despres and Gelinas are indeed similar. I would say that Gelinas has more of an offensive upside where as Despres is more of a defensive minded guy who won't put up a ton of offense. I feel Despres may have benefited from playing with Gelinas when they were paired together in Saint John.

Jeremy is the better one for one reason and one reason only.

Boucher seems to have a skill putting the puck in the back of the net. Three goals this week. Albeit one was a shootout goal and the other was a ENG. I think he still needs a year in the A. I think this kid can turn out to be a 30 g scorer for us in the future.
So has Rodwell actually been impressive? It'd be weird to see him carve out a spot in Albany after being so underwhelming in college.
Plus the injury last year didn't help. Seemed like the few college games I caught in him, he scored or did something with his speed. Also heard he's a yapper. I hope he gets a few seasons in the A and sees if he can become a bottom 6-er.

He has 5 points in his last 51 games, and 14 points out of 90 overall. He obviously did something his freshman year to warrant a draft spot, so I'm curious what's been going on with him usage/role-wise and if he's more talented than he appears. He's definitely the last guy I expected to see scoring goals in rookie camp.

His shot is OK but his speed is outstanding. He's been used almost exclusively in a 4th line role in NoDak. Pretty limited offensively but he will get into anyone's grill and isnt afraid to get physical. I'd presume he'll be fighting with guys like Wohlberg/Hoeffel/Thomson/etc for a spot in the future...all excellent skaters who are physical and could be perfect as a 4th liner...

Ya, I'm not at all worried about their urgency. If they can keep the puck out and move it up the ice, that's all we need.
Funny you mention Pronger. A poster on the prospects board watched Gelinas during the Memorial Cup a few years ago and said that his physicality reminded him of Pronger too. I thought that was absurdly high praise but now I wonder if he was onto something. If Gelinas can become even half the player Pronger was, I'll be very pleased.

And Helgeson (who I think is going to be our shutdown defenseman of the future, at least until Santini makes it).
Merrill - Larsson
Gelinas - Severson
Helgeson - (Fayne?)

So what order would you say the depth chart looks like for the D prospects?
Merrill
Gelinas
Urbom
Severson
Santini
Then you'd have some fringe guys like Helgeson and Burlon who could very well turn in to NHLer's but might not get a chance with the Devils because of the numbers?

Depends on what you mean. Do you mean "closest to the NHL" or "highest potential?" They're very different lists.
Remember, not all these guys are the same age.
