I think we’ve beaten the “New Jersey Devils need Defense” narrative to death around here lately, and while it is merited, the draft is not going to be an immediate help to the team, with the possible exception of the first overall pick. No, the NHL Entry Draft is simply a way for our beloved Devils to attempt to continue stocking the pipeline with talented prospects in hope that we don’t encounter another stretch of missing the playoffs anytime soon, assuming we can get this current streak to end shortly. For the pool to remain full, the Devils will need to find talent at all positions, not just one, and today we look at a young man named Jonah Gadjovich who could be on New Jersey’s radar despite the fact that he plays the one of the few positions (left wing) where the team is currently not an absolute train wreck.
