The dust has settled on the 2016 draft. Let’s review. The Devils went into Buffalo on Friday with nine overall selections and left with the rights to ten new players when it was all over on Saturday. Ray Shero and company traded down one spot in the first round from #11 to #12 to select center Michael McLeod and also acquire a 3rd round pick from Ottawa. New Jersey then went on to trade one of their three third rounders to Pittsburgh for right winger Beau Bennett.
