Prospect Info: Devils Development Camp 2014

[devilsblood]

So a overage sort of late bloomer guy that is putting up points sort of thing? Or am I lost?

A high schooler from NH I believe. Not that big, but supposedly high on the skill side. Pick reminds me of the Wood pick in that they are Northeast HS kids drafted later in the draft who seem to have good skill.

Only had about 8 goals in 20 something games but a bunch of assists. Said one thing he wants to work on is looking for his own shot more.

 

[devilsblood]

well hes only 18. playing in the USHL next year then BC in 15-16



Wedge is really losing my faith

Those video's are fantastic.

 

[The 29th Pick]

Those video's are fantastic.

they are good and I've watched a bunch of them,
have the Devils always filmed these camp games and made them available to watch??

he let in 1 goal

 

[SeidoN]

he let in 1 goal

yeah but he hasnt looked all that great in any of the camp videos and had a really rough first half of the season in Albany. 1-2 years ago alot of HF posters were bringing up Wedge as the heir to Brodeur but right now, im not seeing anything all that impressive

 

[glenwo2]

Wedge was on one end.

Who was playing opposite him?

 

[NorwegianDevil]

What do you think about that Lorito dude?
Seems like he got a nose for the net! All of his goals in the scrimmages have been well placed, which is really good!

Third on his team in points in the NCAA this year... Is that any good?

So youre losing faith in him because he had a rough first half, of his first AHL season, and still finished with a 2.39 gaa and .899 save %? Also had a winning record.

 

[Bleedred]

the other goalie

In other words it's irrelevant since all goalies nowadays are the same.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Reid Boucher can score goals.

I'm becoming more and more of a believer that his goal scoring will translate to the NHL. I think we are all going to love the Vulcan.

Dude is old, 24 years old. Would be worth a look in Albany but I'm not sure what his NHL potential holds.

Anyone think Curtis Gedig has a chance to crack Albany's lineup?

He captained Ohio St last season, big and mobile defenseman.

I do. He could get signed, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was to an Albany contract.

 

[Semak]

Then Kelly is on the way out if he isn't already and Burton won't be signed.

Gedig, Heg and McPherson all intrigue me. All the other two way D get the press, but I want to see who of these three, if Gedig gets signed, can emerge as the big DDman.

Helgeson is head and shoulders above the other two IMO.

Helgeson is head and shoulders above the other two IMO.

And that's who I hope gets the first call up, even before Severson.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Can anyone comment on who has the better defensive prospect pool between the Devils and the Flyers. A lot of Flyer fans are claiming they have a better prospect pool, but I don't know too much about their guys. I know they have two first rounders in Morin and Sanheim, as well as Gostibehere who excelled in the NCAA this year.

I personally feel Severson and Santini are better bets to become solid NHLers than Morin and Gostibhere. However, I do feel that those two have a much higher ceiling than our guys. Morin obviously because of his unique size, and Ghost because he could be elite offensively. I feel Morin and Ghost are more likely to bust than Santini and Severson. I don't really know much about Sanheim, but they also have Hagg, who I feel has a similar style to Larsson.

 

[Classic Devil]

The thing about our defense pool is the incredible depth of it. We have a few guys with genuine #1 potential, but then there's like ten guys with legit shots at a NHL roster someday.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Why is anyone losing faith in Wedgewood? Give him time. Here's to hoping he progresses if Kinkaid is the backup in NJ and he gets a larger share of starts in Albany.

 

[MichaelJ]

Potential:

Top pairing: Merrill, Severson, Larsson
Top 4: Gelinas, Santini, Jacobs
Solid NHL D: Scarlett, Helgeson, Burlon, Gedig, McPherson

Getting ahead of myself, that's the potential for filling out our Top4 with 1-2 type defensemen and having Top4 quality Dmen on the bottom pair. ZBC, your objection is already noted.

Wedgewood has always been raw as hell, I'm not giving up on him any time soon. especially with Cory locked up we can afford to let them all develop.

 

[NJDevs26]

Wedgewood literally just turned 21. How many goalies are really on the fast track to the NHL by then besides Marty? He's not even going to be starting at Albany this year. This is the next step, he'll get a few more games there.

 

[glenwo2]

Wedge is only 21? Geez....Overreaction by the masses, huh?
