Prospect Info: Predators Development Camp 2014

Here's Section303's take on a new chant.

Would not be a fan if we hijacked the lame USMNT chant

Rather us keep rock and roll pt2; if its good enough for the Tide, it's good enough for us

 

[AintLifeGrand]

agreed . ILIILI is old, but it's ours and the casual fan knows it. I wish the PFO would quit trying to remake us into some clone hockey team.

Gold on the Ceiling is horrid. It is too SLOW. pick a song that is fast and jumpy and rock/roll, don't choose a song just because it has the dam word "gold" in it for branding purposes.

Agreed, if we can't have r&r pt 2, then let's go with kernkraft or like "This Is How We Roll "by Florida/ Ga line

Raise those Standards ... I'd rather use The Raconteurs "Salute your Solution" or something along those lines

Anyone that wants to keep the Gary Glitter song should read up on the guy.

Undrafted goalie at camp

He kind of flew under the radar, but bringing in Devin Williams, who's currently with Erie in the OHL, showed good poise and footwork at development camp. He could be good to add for goaltending depth. Milwaukee is pretty much set, but why not get him in the system. I spoke with him after the scrimmage. Good kid with a good head on his shoulders. He's dedicated and getting good training in the OHL.

the biggest obstacle to signing a guy like this is the 50 total contract rule…

Im not sure where we stand right now but adding a 5th or 6th goalie probably isn't a high priority, especially with Saros likely coming over next year or the year after.

Very true. I do see some team signing him in the near future though. Too much of an upside to not sign him. He'll at least be playing in the AHL in his career. That's for sure.

nice to see Williams had a good camp in Nashville. I saw he earned an invite to main camp. He's a great kid and a great goalie. Took over the starting job late in the season when CBJ pick Oscar Dansk fell apart and played great aside from the final series against Guelph (no one from Erie played well in that series).

He has probably the best footwork for a goalie I've ever seen in Erie. So, so quick. His biggest issues right now are size (he is about six feet now, not quite as small as Nashville has him listed), and getting caught too deep in his net. If he could learn to play an aggressive to make up for his lack of size he could be an excellent goalie. Could see him playing a Jonathan Quick style, he has that kind of quickness.

Trade Beck for a 4th and sign this kid!!

Leipsic

For those that want more info on Brendan Leipsic. Basically, he likes offense. Does that have you turned on? haha

I think he could be a real special player for us in a few years. He's fast. He's smart. He gets under your skin. He knows how to put the puck in the net. Yeah, he's on the smaller side but as the article said it never stopped Sully or St. Louis. Plenty of big guys out there with great skill sets and no heart. This kid seems to have the heart of a warrior. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do.

He definitely gets under the opposing team's skin. Everyone remember the water bottle incident? haha

Another prospect to shore up the blue line in Milwaukee

Garrett Noonan is just going to add to the competition on the blue in Milwaukee. He had a solid college career for Boston University, but let's see if that carries over to pro.

Preds prospect, Vesey from Harvard

If you all get tired of me posting these, just let me know! haha I figured I'd continue to post articles on the prospects from development camp whenever I can get them written. This one is on Jimmy Vesey. It was his third dev camp and he's going to be a junior at Harvard this fall.

[triggrman]

I appreciate the articles.

 

[Dave is a killer]

I appreciate the articles.

seconded, the more articles the better

Well thanks! I'll keep posting in this discussion with anymore articles on prospects that were at development camp. I think I have two more to write. Man, off-season probs...

No man, keep em coming. Your articles confirm the notion of OTF's obsolescence and provide great Offseason reading.

how did you like Kirkland?

 

[RCola88]

how did you like Kirkland?

I liked him a lot. Didn't seem like it was his first camp, a pretty smooth skater for his size. I think, realistically, he is a 3rd line guy who can put up points and his ceiling is a very good 2nd line PWF that gets PP time. Love the kid, I think it'll be a long road for him to reach Nashville though. Similar to Taylor Beck

Funny thing is when I went I wasn't keying in on him at all but he caught my eye. I agree with the above assessment and will be watching him closely from here on out.
