Since Ray Shero has become General Manager of the New Jersey Devils, the Devils have drafted a goalie in every year. I have been on record on this site about how I do not like goaltenders being drafted, especially with a higher pick. However, I must accept what has been happening instead of what I would like to see happen. I also must point out in selecting Gilles Senn in 2017, the team demonstrated that they are willing to draft an overage player out of Europe, monitor how he does abroad, and then sign him to an entry level contract before his rights expired.
