So Seney is better than Hughes? I never would have guessed it.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Lou and Conte really f***ed up not forfeiting the 2012 pick for the Kovy penalty. Could have ended up with a player like Ehlers/Fiala/Larkin in 2014 but no, we took Quenneville and Matteau.

 

[Darkauron]

Did you really need to post this in multiple threads seney? I think we saw.

Where is Kerfoot?

Where is Kerfoot?

Kerfoot played ZERO games for Devils. An undersized forward poached by the Avalanche

 

[OmNomNom]

Kerfoot played ZERO games for Devils. An undersized forward poached by the Avalanche

but its still someone who we can look at for a metric of performance for forwards we've drafted (even if team context changes a lot). he's what i'd consider a "hit" by our scouts

 

[Bleedred]

Sounds a bit like Brett Seney, outside of the zero games played part.

You are all going to miss Seney when he hits free agency after this season and follows Jacob MacDonald to greener pastures.

and all the while i'll have golden slumbers without a wink of wake but a perfect sleep

maybe you should get up and fix yourself a drink...no no no no

Martin St Louis

First 2 NHL seasons with Calgary.

1.29 pts per 60 mins ice time (20/15.5).

Martin St. Louis Stats | Hockey-Reference.com

A “diamond in the rough” signed by Tampa after his 2yr contact with Calgary expired.

 

[Bleedred]

He will be the next very shrewd signing by Dale Tallon and go on to score 60 points per year there with a very strong team in Florida, along with the best coach in the game. It figures that the only two good forwards that Conte left us with last decade were tossed away by Shero/Fitz. Kerfoot being the first one. And don’t get me started on Jake MacDonald. Thanks again Ray.

This will never, ever get old, Bleed. Keep it going

 

[Billdo]

You gotta admit, Quests really one guy who doesn't waiver.

The REAL question is, if we DO lose Seney, do we lose QuestForStanley too?

We’ll lose Seney very soon. Have to also worry about the NYb signing him. Lou was still here for that draft and no doubt knows that he and Conte picked a winner with one of their last ever picks for the organization. And then there’s the Rags to worry about too. Gorton and JD have done an outstanding job at rebuilding them and turning them into a contender overnight. You have to believe they’d love to poach another NJD gem like the Rags have done so many times before.

That would be a hell of a steal for the Rags, who already bested us in the 2019 draft by picking Kakko when we could have had him first. Just another stain on the organization.

DD is apparently almost as big of a fan of his.

I still wonder what the heck happened to him. Guys who post almost daily and then just disappear always peaks my interest.

 

[JimEIV]

Not sure why people aren't more impressed with Seney in all honesty.

99 AHL games - 71 points (.717 PPG)
53 NHL games, all under horrific circumstances and 13 points (ATOI - 10:19) - Essentially identical production to Joey Anderson in the NHL 52 games and 13 points (ATOI - 13:01).

He is a bit older being a 4 year college player so perhaps the increased production should be somewhat expected but he is producing and has been since starting a pro career...that is something in my opinion. Not too many other prospects at the Pro level with nearly as impressive production(except for Anderson who has similar AHL stats 40 points in 57 games .701 PPG but is 2 years younger... 2 years, 3 months and 22 days if you want to be specific ).

 

[Quest for Stanley]

Brett Seney has led his team in points 5 of his last 6 seasons. Four in a row at Merrimack and this season led Bingo in goals and points.

 

[None Shall Pass]

I think Seney can play on the 4th line in the NHL, maybe spotting in on the 3rd when needed. What's working against him, on this team, is that he's small, and we're already a small team.

 

[Zippy316]

He's a small, relatively undisciplined player penalty-wise that has more talented small forwards and undisciplined players ahead of him

Devils should do him a favor and include him in any deal they make this off-season. I do think he could be a productive, feisty forward if given the chance. Would likely do him best to hitch onto a bigger, more physical team like the Blues or Blue Jackets where he can be protected and use his speed and feistiness to his advantage.

Problem for the Devils is playing him with Bratt, Hughes, and Gusev will cause issues with their size and with Wood and Palmieri they play the same wrecking ball game. Finding a spot for him becomes difficult.

 

[Quest for Stanley]

For Seney, size is irrelavant. He's proven it over & over.
