Scoring is an eternal need for the New Jersey Devils. Will they be able to hit on a scorer in the mid- to later rounds of the draft? One potential option in that range could be Emil Bemstrom out of Sweden’s SuperElit junior league.
Who is Emil Bemstrom?
Emil Bemstrom is a Swedish forward who played most of his past season in the SHL’s top junior league for Leksands IF. A speedy player, Bemstrom is a bit on the small side, checking in at 5’-10” and 181 pounds. With a June 1, 1999 birthday, he is on the younger side of this draft and is still just 17 years of age as of this writing.
