C Michael McLeod (2016, 12th, NJD) Part II
- Thread starter hototogisu
- Start date
How does this apply any less to Devils fans?
Zajacs Bowl Cut
Lets Go Baby
at LW/C going forward we now have:
Hall
Zajac
Patrick or Hischier
Zacha
McLeod
Henrique
Cammalleri
Quenneville
Wood
Blandisi
all in the NHL or will be very shortly.
I realize that things change quickly in the NHL but thats a lot of depth. This is why I am on the "package Henrique for a DMan" bandwagon

That's not really that much depth. We have 8 LW/Cs dressed for every game, plus 1-2 scratched, and there are only 10 players on that list. I agree that there's luxury there and we can afford to deal to shore up other parts of the roster, but 2 years from now that list could turn pretty paltry.

McLeod has an unbelievable ability to generate O from the DZ. Lead the OHL in full ice controlled zone entries (controlledZE starting in DZ) https://t.co/GgaGCfTeKv

Does this support your earlier post that says he will most likely be a 3C?
PS- I can cherry pick too. How did he do vs. Peterborough, the best team in the Eastern Conference?
Those entire stretch of tweets were basically pimping the prospects for the team the employs him. Look at his follow ups on Hague and Tippett.

I know, I follow that guy, too. Still doesn't change the fact that he lead the league in controlled entries. Unless you think he's lying.

Great news for the Devils considering he won't have to play Erie when he makes it to the NHL. He should do fine against non-Erie teams based on his stats so we just have to make sure there's no expansion to Erie anytime soon.
I like our chances.
I don't but as his pinned tweet says, I think he was choosing the absolutely most positive thing to say about each player. Although, what he says clearly lines up with the eye-test, McLeod's skating is clearly elite.
Based on recent history, he will have plenty more than that in first 9 against the Flyers. Especially if mason is in goal.

I never understood the "Player (so and so) only scores his points or goals or assists against bad teams" argument.
At the end of a season, everyone plays roughly the same schedule in a pretty even league.
And I say that as someone who thought this was a bad pick by the Devils. That argument to me does not make any sense.

And if McLeod only scored against good teams people (mostly those with obvious agendas) would be saying he takes games off.
I would love to have Mcleod on the Leafs. His motor is very similar to Hyman's.
Babs would love this guy.

You don't understand it because it's a farcical belief to have and you have to mentally prepare yourself better for the mental slowdown it takes to utter something so overly reductive.

Nice mix of goals here. Showed some sweet hands on several of them, had a few snipes, displayed some blistering speed. However, I think a lot of his goal scoring prowess will translate at the next level since many were scored in the dirty areas. He obviously won't score as many since NHL dmen are faster and have better positioning but he'll still be able to beat most to loose pucks and scoring areas.

Ok, so same deal as us and Sergachev.
Do you want him to make the team/think he deserves it? (as is the case with me and Serg)

Management thinks very highly of him. Shero said something to the effect of "we'll give him every opportunity to earn a spot in training camp" and Castron always heaps praise on him. He perfectly personifies the vision Shero has for this team.
I think he would have to have a really bad camp to not make it. He could start as #3 C behind Zajac/Nico, or at RW where we are very thin. We definitely have spots open.
Personally I think he has nothing more to learn at the junior level, and he's not AHL eligible. He'd be an immediate upgrade over the guys we have now and would bring some much needed energy and enthusiasm. To me, this is the right time for him to make the next step but I don't think it's the end of the world if he goes back for another year. Nico will satiate my sweet tooth for the year.
