Confirmed with Link: Jeremy Davies Signs ELC

[mtnet]

Good news, getting him locked up now avoids the angst of him slipping to free agency.

Woot!

Also, I still enjoy that every time I Google Jeremy Davies, the actor who played Upham in Saving Private Ryan shows up.

he got the maximum someone could get without performance bonuses so his cap hit is 925k. i wonder if he's the first 7th round pick in Devils history to get that much

 

[NJ07102]

That was an important signing. From what I have seen the guy has great vision and skill. Our backend could get really crowded next season...

I haven't seen confirmation of how much his contract is for. Capfriendly's number is preliminary.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

It's funny cuz, all the time and this is the first time I've seen a picture of him lol.

This is very good news. Davies' upside is very similar to that of Will Butcher, though I consider him a stronger skater. He's extremely smart.

This is a huge victory for the entire scouting department of the New Jersey Devils. In their first two drafts (2016, 2017), they have a 6th-round pick as a regular on their second line (Jesper Bratt), a 7th round pick looking like a future mid-pairing D (Davies) and another 6th round pick as one of their top prospects (Aarne Talvitie).

Yet some still say they've done nothing.

Why do you do this? This is great. We're excited. Let's leave it at that.

I don't "do this". This is an isolated thing unless it's outright sarcasm. Hell, this is sarcasm anyway. I'm thrilled for this. I've been pumping Davies' tires for a while now.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Hopefully he works out

Would be cool if he works immediately and we can move Butcher

 

[Setec Astronomy]

Woot!

Not making this political, but not as funny as when Bill Kristol was floating National Review writer David French as an independent Presidential candidate when Trump got the Republican nomination and the the first Google search result for the name was some Canadian playwright that nobody ever heard of.

Davies the hockey player was an infant when that movie came out, which is crazy to think.

(slowly turning this into a movie thread) I wish Spielberg had decided to subtitle this one scene which I didn't find out about until years later. So there's the part after the Allied forces break the line at Normandie. A couple soldiers approach a couple (seemingly German) soldiers who are surrendering, but they decide to shoot them. The soldiers are actually speaking Czech and are saying something to the effect of "We are not German, please don't shoot."

 

[AfroThunder396]

I've been on a Mortal Kombat kick lately, so

 

[Nubmer6]

This might be a better picture...

Now I've got to hunt that down.

And this pic

 

[Oneiro]

The lack of subtitles was intentional. Puts the (American) audience in the same position as the soldiers. Spielberg's more clever than he comes across, sometimes.

Anyway. Cool we signed Davies.

 

[Brodeur]

Now I've got to hunt that down.

I guess Spielberg left that in as an Easter egg, but it definitely adds something to that scene upon rewatch.

From the Athletic:

“Other than winning a national championship,” Fitzgerald said, when asked if Davies has anything left to prove at the NCAA level. “I do think he’s ready for pro hockey. He’ll have a chance to make our team. If he doesn’t, we all know what the safety net is. It’s go down and get some reps, get more ice time down in Binghamton. But that’s just a safety net.
“We believe that he is (ready),” I would think Jim (Madigan) thinks the same, that’s he ready for the next step, next challenge.”
