Prospect Info: #44OA - Hurricanes Select C Jamieson Rees - Signed 12/30/20

[HisIceness]

I tend to like our 2nd round picks. This one is no different.

 

[zman77]

Feisty skilled player who is relentless on the puck.
Excellent pick by the 'Canes!!

Jamieson Rees:
High compete forward who plays with courage and skill.

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Hey folks,

Rees was one of the guys I wanted the Sharks to draft at 41 before they traded the pick away.

Love his speed and the way he plays reckless abandon. (Downside is higher chance of injury). He feels like a smaller yet faster version of Logan Couture.

He should definitely fit in with your play style and he projects to a 2C.

 

[spockBokk]

I think the Rees pick and the Honka picks are my favorites from this draft.

 

[bleedgreen]

I think the Rees pick and the Honka picks are my favorites from this draft.

Those two and the goalie are the ones I think are most likely to make it as regulars.

 

[Unsustainable]

I think the Rees pick and the Honka picks are my favorites from this draft.

Goalie and Suzuki. Though the other Russian kid is intriguing too.

 

[Svechhammer]

From Brock:

"Honestly, an impossible player not to like as a scout. He works his ass off out there, but has way more skill than your average “pest.” He does everything well at a high tempo, including carrying the puck, and that should translate well to the next level. I do think that he'll need to prove that he can be a goal scorer by improving his shot. And I do think that he will also need to prove that his body can handle the way that he plays, as durability is a real concern. But guys like Rees do not grow on trees anymore. He is a throwback and a guy that could be a clutch playoff performer down the line. Just look at how his game elevated this year when faced with challenges (Hlinka-Gretzky, TPG, U18's). Someone has to like this guy enough to take him in the first round right?”

BAH GAWD THAT'S ROSEY'S MUSIC

 

[spockBokk]

Figured this one deserves a bump...Rees has been playing out of his mind since coming back from suspension...6g and 8a for 14pts in 6gms back.

 

[spockBokk]

Make that 7g 8a in his past 6 games...

 

[Canes]

Richolas Nobertson who?

 

[zman77]

Jamieson Rees gets the hat trick!

I think you have it backwards. Kev will be ecstatic if Rees turns out as good, or better than Robertson.

Here are all 3 goals from his first OHL hat trick:

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Here are all 3 goals from his first OHL hat trick:

Wow. 1 and 2 were pretty incredible. 3 wasn’t a tap in but those first two were pretty outstanding displays of skill driving to the net.

 

[GoldiFox]

Rees leads the OHL with 2.5 pts/GP. It is actually more if you consider his first game where he got ejected he only played 1 period.

Sarnia was 0-7 without Rees playing a full game and is now 5-0 with him back. And they have beaten some of the best teams in the OHL.

 

[bleedgreen]

Hard to say what skills translate when they move up but the kid looks like he has the hands in tight. Looks like a junior version of Marchand on those first two. Playing as well as we could hope he would.

For sure. I do think it's neat that we've developed a rivalry between the two guys that is kinda specific to forum 26. It's also kinda crazy that they are so similar and even now, talent evaluators who watch them both regularly have a hard time choosing between them.

in three years we'll be mad about both of em

One thing that I will say is that Robertson is way more necessary to Toronto's farm than Rees is to Carolina's. Remember, they had no 1st last year because of Muzzin and will also have no 1st next year because of yours truly. They need Robertson to be the projected 1st round talent that he was before his concussions in order to keep their farm above water.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Like I said at the time, I wouldn't have minded him in the late first from what I knew of him. Glad to see he's tearing it up. Seems like with him it's just a matter of staying on the ice (health, suspensions) and what will translate down the road.

How did you get Toronto’s first?

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Other than annoyingly talking about wanting Marleau’s last year since the start of the offseason, not much lol.

 

[Svechhammer]

I'm not too familiar with the OHL, but don't they have a reputation of being a pretty good junior level league? Rees has such speed and his hands are so quick he makes the defense look like pylons. He looks like a perfect fit for our system.
