With the recent New Jersey Devils official Podcast with Amanda Stein (NJ Devils team beat writer), and Radio host Matt Loughlin conducting the podcast with Devils Director of Amateur Scouting, Paul Castron. There was a lot to be said from the recent podcast, but before we go into full details let’s take a look at some of his quotes.
“Don’t put too much stock into how Jack Hughes and Kaapo Kakko are performing at #IIHFWorlds. So much more goes into consideration for the first overall pick”
To put this into perspective, the due diligence of Castron’s work with Assistant GM Tommy Fitzgerald and Devils GM Ray Shero are very likely set on picking Jack Hughes.
