Looks like Kujawinski's injured again. Hasn't played a game since December 5th. He had 6 points in his last 5 games (which includes 2 scoreless games) before he went down.

Article about Miles Wood and USA WJC: http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=34921

Interesting quote/part about Santini too:

"Wood, who was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the fourth round (No. 100) in 2013, didn't know anyone before he arrived at evaluation camp other than defenseman Steve Santini. The fellow Devils 2013 NHL Draft pick, who's already at Boston College, has helped ease Wood into the group. "He's kind of taken me with him along this whole thing. [He said] just play your own game, have fun with it and soak it all in," Wood said."

Seem's like he's really taking on a leadership role with Team USA and overall. I'm really excited to see him at the pro level.

I'm excited to see Santini play in the WJC...hopefully he will be able to overcome any rust after the long layoff.

Still think the fact that Wood is even in that camp is huge news.

No doubt, Woods looks like a potential draft steal. Still concerned about these extra years of HS, and how that plays into our ability to sign him.

Lots of talk that as long as Santini makes the team, he will likely be the Team USA Captain. Wood is probably a long shot to make the club but if he has a very good few days of the evaluation camp, he could have a shot.

Santini could be our future Scott Stevens and I'm really excited about the kid (even if he did grow up a Rangers fan).

Ever wonder if Lou does a lil arm twisting (enhanced encouragement) to the committee that selects players?

It is the opposite I believe...Team USA is driving and Lou is watching. That is how some of those picks get made...said player is on Team USA's radar so the Devils are interested.

Lou was always dialed into Team USA and the Devils have a history of grabbing kids out of the development program....Right now, in the system look how many players have been a part of Team USA...Most if not ALL of these kids were part of Team USA Before they became Devil Property

Let's hope that he and Santini bond enough as BC boys and then Wood's more comfortable coming to NJD.

There's a chance they never play a game together in their life. :sarcasm: I think realistically Santini will stay 1 more season and will be in the NHL in 2016.

Baddock is going to be a Devil when goons are back in vogue in a few seasons.

I would love a player in the mold of a rick tocchet, a better bigger version of Clarkson.
