Devils 3 on 3 Wednesday and Red and White Scrimmage Wednesday and Friday

[Triumph]

Didn't see the whole thing, but I liked Parent's game - he feels like he's in the spot where he goes to 3 dev camps this summer but the Devils could use a player like this

 

[MauDevils]

Wow Oden.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Ohhhh the ol' Parise move, love it!

 

[RememberTheName]

Oh my lord Oden.

Feels nice to see Devils' goalies getting lit up in July. Just feels right

Where did Parent come from?

the Q, but he intends to go to university

(unless we give him a contract of sorts?)

 

[RememberTheName]

Parent, Oden, and Devlin imo have all earned contracts at least for the AHL.

First thing I thought lol.

I meant how did he get in the system, or is he not yet? He's been impressive.

 

[MauDevils]

Parent is 5'8. There's our Gaudreau replacement.

 

[Devs3cups]

Really liked Nemec's game, and the kid hasn't played in months, just got drafted and was probably hella nervous. Things looking up.

probably gonna be more like a Joe Whitney replacement

Nemec was the best player out there. No question. Looked like he was cruising but still looked great.

Stillman looked good. Isn’t surprising as he is a good prospect. Was just a reach in the first round. 2nd round prospect easily with 3rd line potential. Plays with some bite too.

Vilen looked good. We’ll see how he does in Utica this year.

Holtz didn’t look great but looked better towards the end when they pulled the goalie

Salminen is a much better skater than advertised and I see some potential there.

Casey showed some nice flashes

Edwards is a good skater

Hurtig looked half decent

Thompson was one of the better players.

 

[RememberTheName]

Can't really take much away from a scrimmage, but Nemec was so far and away the best player on the ice at all points. Looked great and there's no doubt he will get a shot at 3rd pairing rd.

Stillman looked much improved from the OHL. High energy and making things happen all over the ice. I liked seeing that a lot out of him.

Also, Holtz still has the IQ of a pebble.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

He's 21. He should look good compared to the rest although I'm not sure I agree he's been that impressive.

that's low




(totally a dig at his height)

He's 21. He should look good compared to the rest although I'm not sure I agree he's been that impressive.

i was gonna make that argument too -- same w oden, who's 22 and was 0.5PPG w Ilves. But some of our kids are older prospects too, and they're going to the AHL. Can't hurt to bring these guys in as AHL depth, no? Plus Parent isn't a slouch - 4th in QMJHL scoring last season

Very small sample size but I think Holtz can make a career out of playing with Jack at the very least but I'm not so sure much past that unfortunately. Hopefully this was just still a warmup for him.

Everything else was either already know or not enough to change any opinion. We know Nemec is good. We know Stillman is a solid prospect.

Wouldn’t worry too much about this. His skating is a concern for me but he looked better towards the end of the scrimmage when they needed a goal and I don’t think he was going 100% which is understandable.

Sometimes it feels like Thompson’s been in the system a long time, and then i pull up his page and he was drafted in 2019 and hasn’t even played 40 pro games yet thanks to last year’s injury. Will be interesting to see who rises to the top at training camp this year.

I mean its not really that small of a sample size. He's had this brain ever since his draft year and hasn't shown nearly enough improvement in his hockey sense. Small sample size, but today is just more of what we've seen. He is really skilled with an elite shot, but there's more to hockey than that.

The only thing I really took away from this is that Salminen is a better skater than advertised.

Completely forgot to mention this. Salminen's skating looked improved. He has gotten a little faster and I think that's because his technique has looked much, much better than it did his draft year. Still has quite a ways to go to get to NHL level but I was happy to at least see somewhat of an improvement from him.
