Prospect Info: 2024 HFDevils Prospect Rankings #1

[devilsfan950003]

What center prospect do the Devils have? I noticed it's limited... I hope Bowers isn't considered their number-one center prospect.

 

[StevenToddIves]

I'm not sure we can rightly call Simon Nemec a "prospect", but if we're going to do that then it's pretty clear he's #1 in the Devils organization.

 

[MasterofGrond]

next poll

 

[HBK27]

I went with Casey...

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Nemec add Stillman.

Anyone look at PuckPedia to check out the organization? Look at some of the UFA forwards?

It's 2020 all over.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

We're really falling off a cliff after #8 or so this year, huh? I guess add Orlov

And I have a feeling #3 is going to be my jump and pound the table moment.

 

[Hisch13r]

I mean I want to vote Silayev since Nemec definitely isn’t a prospect

Fitz doesn’t believe in centers

 

[Guadana]

This one is too obvious.

Just for funsies, let’s say Nemec was also just drafted along with Silayev…who would go first here?

I think we’d think Silayev has the higher ceiling, and in some ways, also has a higher floor, but Nemec has a better average in that even though Silayev might have a “safer” floor, Nemec is more likely to be top 4?

I don’t know. Hard to remove what we already know about Nemec. We’re lucky to be so loaded with such high end talent.

I like pre draft Nemec more than pre draft Silayev.

They don't have one!

 

[Xirik]

Chop chop Nubmer6

They don't have one!

I think the Devils lose his rights in August but as of right now I think Artem Shlaine is our top Center prospect.

 

[Beastdog75]

Voted for Nemec, add Malek

For people who wouldn’t have seen them both play multiple times.

We would have the good tools and amazing production in a non-standard league in Nemec.

Vs

The incredible physical tools and amazing age adjusted production in a good league with lacking age comparables.

————————-

So I think online it would just be people picking out the components they think matter more or who their trusted resources are. They’d both have their promoters and detractors.

I do think Nemec had a narrower range of outcome than Silayev does.

 

[Clam Jensen]

Nemo, add Karpovich

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Nemec add Orlov

When my youngest was about 6 i had to go to his school and explain why he reenacted the burn the witch scene. His oldest brother is almost 8 years ahead of him and that sort of thing happened.

Shlaine is starting his 5th year in the NCAA with his 3rd team. That's what I said. The Devils don't have one.

They have centers drafted, but none are playing in their system worth a damn. The most recent draftees were shocking selections when better were available. There chance of making it to the NHL are huge against them.

List any others and tell me who among them will even become a top level AHL center. Currently only Bowers is in the AHL. He's on an NHL 2-way, but he's not a NJ prospect/hopeful. He will never be a regular NHL center for any NHL franchise. We are hoping he can be something of value in Utica this season, but that hope is up in the air. You've seen him. Posts from Jersey fans on this site have not been nice to him.

There are no NJ center prospects in Utica or Adirondack.

Other than Salminen, who could still be something after transferring to Denver (much like Anaheim's Sam Colangelo earned an ELC after leaving Northeastern for Western Michigan), the top center prospects might be Graham and Melovsky from this year's draft.

The DevilsInsiders guys had a lot of nice things to say about Melovsky at development camp but he is a 20-year-old and two years older than most of the players who were there.
