Fantasy Summary
A hard-hitting pest who racks up penalty minutes and adds a scoring touch. Think Cal Clutterbuck with less discipline and a bit more skill.
Observations
January 2024 – One of the hardest hitters of the 2022 draft, Davies has added a deft offensive touch in his third WHL campaign. After putting up a lacklustre 70 points across his first two WHL seasons, he currently has 51 points in only 34 games for the Portland Winterhawks, where he plays with fellow Panthers prospect Marek Alscher, also drafted in 2022. Because this scoring uptick is happening so late in his junior career, take it with a heavy dose of salt in terms of projecting similar numbers at the next level. He has all the makings of a Cal Clutterbuck-type pest who hits everything that moves and ends up in the penalty box more often than his coach would like. But players like that who can mix snarl and skill don’t come along every day, so he likely will get a chance in the Cat’s bottoms six at some point in the coming years. Ben Gehrels
