The New Jersey Devils future on defense has everything to do with players like Ty Smith, Kevin Bahl, Reilly Walsh, and whoever the Devils take with the fourth-overall pick in this year’s draft (which is expected to be a defenseman). Then, there are prospects like Shakir Mukhamadullin, Nikita Okhotyuk, Michael Vukojevic, and Ethan Edwards who have a chance to grow into a good NHL defenseman one day. However, at one time the Devils thought the future would have Josh Jacobs and Colton White.
