New Jersey Devils: Hayden Hawkey Might be the Perfect NCAA Signing

Goaltending is a game of risks. Not every goalie who demonstrates ability in Junior is able to replicate that success at the pro level. This is why it is the hardest position to draft and judge effectively until a goalie makes it to the NHL. Just this last season, due to injuries the St. Louis Blues had to play their AHL backup – Jordan Binnington. He ended up carrying them from last place to hoisting the Stanley Cup. This is why it is important for New Jersey Devils GM Ray Shero to take risks when genuine goaltending talent is available.
