Prospect Info: Jared Davidson

[WeThreeKings]

Based on what Bobrov said, it looks like their shot at a 4th liner that had the elements they would be looking for in that role.

He's pretty spot on. I watched a lot of Seattle this year because I loved their team. Davidson is fast & drives the net with his speed.

Every forward Montreal took this year attacks the net, middle of the ice. That's the kind of game Colorado plays. That's what Montreal is building.

Obviously not everyone is going to make it, but Hughes is trying to develop an identity.

Why not Logan Morrison instead ?

Morrison doesn't skate well and I see little to no NHL upside in him. This is why no other team picked him again despite having NHL size and scoring 100 points.

So funny that Logan Morrison was getting 2nd round pick hype here. I saw the same thing all the scouts did, that he was just an overager who beat people by being an overager.

I'm sure a team like Tampa will invite him to their dev camp and sign him to an ELC, because they need guys like that who could play as depth.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Yeah, watching him play felt like he was more so just thinking the game faster than the less experienced kids. It was difficult to identify something in his game that would be able to elevate his game past minor pro. You never know as development can be unpredictable or maybe I am underestimating just how smart he is but clearly others were of the same mind.

I agree that he should definitely get an invite to an NHL development camp

Why not Logan Morrison instead ?

Because Davidson is better

 

[superdeluxe]

He is scrappy like that, lots of passion on the ice. Bobrov says he is the motor/engine of the team and that is a perfect statement in him.

What do you think about his offense? Is it overager finally figuring out the league or do you think he's on an actual late development bloom?

He was not an overager (like say Xhekaj or Staios). He was a final year Junior.

Overager in Draft eligibility terms.

He's improved every year. He obviously took not getting drafted seriously because you could tell he really worked on his game in his D+1 season.

He went from .083 pts/g (rookie) to .271 pts/g (draft year) to .826 pts/g to 1.39 pts/g, so there is clear progression each season including a really good jump after coming back from the Covid season to a shortened WHL season after his draft year.

He's way better than Logan Morrison. This kid has speed for days and uses it to push back D, and drive the net.

He's clearly worked on his shot. It's improved a lot and he can shoot it in stride. He's a lot stronger too.

He's already played 4 years in WHL, so it'll be interesting to see what Montreal does with him.

Does he play in Laval? Or, go back for a 5th year? Personally, I think he's ready for pro-hockey, and we can use centers in Laval.

Can see him working well with Martel or Gignac on a pure speed, forechecking line.

I guess it depends on how he does at the various camps.

I like this pick - seems like a late bloomer

Skating was the issue that held him back his OHL draft year as well.

2022-2023 WHL or AHL for Davidson ? Selon vous ?

3R on an AHL contract and evaluate how he progresses playing against men.

I'm good with that.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Having the ECHL team close by is a big plus with guys drafted older like him and Tourigny, it gives us more options with the ''in betweeners''. We should really take advantage of that.

 

[montreal]

2022-2023 WHL or AHL for Davidson ? Selon vous ?

I assume 3R but we'll see how the rookie camp/tournament goes and then see.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

2022-2023 WHL or AHL for Davidson ? Selon vous ?

I'm hoping WHL

 

[calder candidate]

I'm hoping WHL

Same since they have a good team with lot of NHL prospect I have him play in the WHL for a winning team to really dominate.

Gotta love how consistent, aligned & logical HuGo's moves have been, including draft #1.

After MB & his "throw sh*t at the wall, hope it sticks, take credit when it does & blame /make excuses when it doesn't" approach, it's such a breath of fresh air to have competency running the org.
