Jack Devine is an all-around player who possesses high quality skating, a high on-ice IQ and has the potential to be a gifted playmaking winger at the next level. With his combination of skating ability and vision on the ice he is able to navigate through the neutral zone easily with the puck on his stick, making him a consistent threat to generate controlled zone entries. Once he gains access to the offensive zone with the puck on his stick, he possesses a knack at getting the puck into the high scoring areas. Whether he cuts to the center lane himself or spots a streaking teammate and hits him with an in-stride pass, he knows how to get the puck into the right areas at the right time. On the defensive side, he is able to consistently get back on defense and help his defenseman negate any scoring chances his opponents may generate. He has all the tools you want to see in a prospect and is the type of player that NHL coaches would love to get their hands on to help shape. He played on a loaded Denver team and helped contribute to their National Championship run, but he will likely be one of the focal points for the team next season. He needs to show that he can take his offensive game to another level in that situation. He’s a solid offensive contributor right now, if can become a more consistent offensive threat his NHL ceiling will skyrocket. He has all the tools to be an effective third-line, two-way player and carve out a role on the power play and penalty killing units. Devine is the ultimate team guy. He does a little bit of everything and excels at stuff that doesn’t necessarily always show up on the scoresheet, but his teammates appreciate. Every NHL team will want a player like him.
