Wow.... too long IMOI was told that Smith was DEFINITELY 3+ years away just last night, tho
One player absolutely dominated that scrimmage and that was Brett Seney. And I mean he was like 2-3 steps above all the other noticeable guys.
He looks like a player tailor made for these New Jersey Devils.
Strongly agree. He’s ready to contribute. With his offensive upside he has potential to be New Jersey’s 2C within a year or twoHe's going to be the Gibbons replacement for next year.

Agreed he has potential to have “Ennis, Gerbe, Gibbons” impact. Eventually he may have “Tyler Johnson” impact. Either way he makes New Jersey betterI would pump the breaks there, but I do think he has the potential to have that Ennis, Gerbe, or Gibbons impact where he's just an absolute pain in the ass to play against.
Seney turning into a Tyler Johnson type player are things that speed up a rebuild (much like Bratt and Butcher’s unexpected emergence). Having buttloads of talent on ELCs is how you build a winner.Agreed he has potential to have “Ennis, Gerbe, Gibbons” impact. Eventually he may have “Tyler Johnson” impact.

This is a great post. There's a lot here to unpack:
1. Greene, Palms, Schneids gave a talk about culture.
2. Kevin Stevens talked about his battle with addiction.
3. Speers is like all like smart and stuff
4. Studenic had JUST flown over from Slovakia...I might be a little behind if I was acclimating 6 hours
5. Shirzey...I learned a new word today too Nate!
6. Interesting how much time is devoted to mental stuff.
7. Shout out to Colton White...who had that nasty snipe in the scrimmage.
Man, they really seem like they bonded. Great posts.
His first pass might be his biggest strength and out of all our guys he might be the best one at it and, playing in the NHL, making a good first pass is half the battle. Then he has the ability to cover a lot of ground and keeps pucks alive and gets to loose pucks quick. I just really like the way he plays and I've told a lot of our scouts that this kid might be our best prospect at this point out of all the college guys.
Yeah, but that's just Wein-o saying that
Love Bobo Carpenter's post about Dev camp. Wish we could sign him now, but seems like he's set on his senior season at BU (as captain). Ray better be on top of it once his season finishes though.
Hell the hell did get the name Bobo? Because all I'm going to think about is that stupid Howie Mandel movie "Walk Like a Man" whenever they say his name.
