The New Jersey Devils under Ray Shero and Paul Castron have shown the willingness to draft players from a variety of backgrounds. They haven’t shied away from North American junior hockey, college hockey, or European based hockey. We’ve already seen them rewarded for drafting from Europe as Jesper Bratt developed faster than many expected and was able to contribute to the NHL team last season. While some of these forward prospects in today’s post are years away from potentially making an impact, it’s worth noting that this group does carry some upside that’s worth being excited about.
