The New Jersey Devils, along with the rest of the National Hockey League, are about to participate in the 2021 NHL Draft. Unlike most of the drafts in recent years, it is very hard to predict what is going to happen overall. This is a draft that lacks depth and the scouting has been strange due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
