The New Jersey Devils did not feature a player on NHL Network’s Top-20 Centers list. They haven’t really had a center that you would say is top-20 in the league in a really long time. Even that team that made a magical run to the Stanley Cup Final in 2012 got most of their offense driven by wingers like Zach Parise, Ilya Kovalchuk, and Patrik Elias. This 2019 list could be the last list to not feature a Devils center for a long time.
The Devils won the NHL Draft Lottery two times in three years and ended up with Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes.
