This year’s 1st round of the NHL Draft might be the most important in New Jersey Devils history. They have three picks in the round for the first time ever. With the future of the franchise a complete mystery, this year’s draft could make or break their future. They already have Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier as 1st-overall picks on the roster, but there’s not much else to go home about.
This year’s draft could give them one of the best prospect pools in the NHL. They already have really good prospects in Ty Smith and Jesper Boqvist, plus some really intriguing players in Joey Anderson, Janne Kuokkanen, Reilly Walsh, Graeme Clarke, and a host of others.
