The New Jersey Devils are still building for their future, but many analysts love the direction they’re heading as an organization.
On Monday, Scott Wheeler at The Athletic added the Devils to his organizational rankings — at No. 4 overall. That’s up from No. 11 last year.
Here’s the Devils’ top ten prospects in Wheeler’s rankings:
- Alexander Holtz, RW
- Luke Hughes, LHD
- Reilly Walsh, RHD
- Tyce Thompson, C/RW
- Nolan Foote, LW
- Shakir Mukhamadullin, LHD
- Arseni Gritsyuk, LW
- Chase Stillman, C/RW
- Graeme Clarke, RW
- Samy Salminen, C
Wheeler notes that the Devils have climbed his rankings significantly even though Ty Smith, Dawson Mercer, Yegor Sharangovich and Janne Kuokkanen have all graduated from his previous rankings.
