The Devils go with a high compete, hard-working forechecker in Round 6.
With their own sixth round selection, the Devils selected 6’1, 179 pound center Luke Wilfley from the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL. In the high-scoring juniors league, Wilfrey managed 9 goals and 15 points in 66 games. So, what do we know about Wilfley?
Safe to say, Patrick Bacon is not a fan.
The Portland Winterhawks posted a much rosier picture of their own player with this video.
From the video, it seems that much of Wilfley’s offense came later in the season, which could mean that the young center was starting to figure things out late. He fits the mold of other picks this year as a hard-checking, high compete forward. Time will tell what becomes of him. For now, welcome to the pool, Wilfley.
