After a time out, the New Jersey Devils drafted goaltender Gilles Senn at 129th overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. Their first selection in the fifth round is indeed a goalie who played in the top Swiss league. He’s also an overaged prospect. And he’s definitely off the board. Let’s learn more about him.
According to Elite Prospects, Gilles Senn is a 21 year old goaltender from Saas-Almagell, Switzerland. He’s very large as he’s listed at 6’5” and 192 pounds. Senn has been playing for HC Davos of the National League A in Switzerland from his youth to the first team.
