Prospect Info: Devils picking 4th Overall.

[MartyOwns]

Anaheim might take Hughes so they can then wait for your team to ask for a trade.

i doubt it...that would be an irresponsibility dumb reason to draft someone, no?

 

[Goomba]

Between Seattle and Anaheim you would have to think one of them takes a forward

Beniers is a perfect player if Power is taken; center, American, and high end potential with electrifying skating

but I think Buffalo shocks and takes Beniers and Seattle takes Power

 

[hobgoblin933]

I'll be happy with any of Power, Beniers, Hughes, Clarke, so I'm not bummed we're picking 4th. Just hope we end up with one of those guys.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

I am so very torn between Clarke and Hughes.

 

[Bcap88]

Could very well see Buffalo as a wild card as well with the uncertainty of eichel

 

[Emperoreddy]

Seattle definitely takes Beniers if he is there. High end centers are hard to find.

 

[Goomba]

I am so very torn between Clarke and Hughes.

Its interesting

Luke is obv Jacks brother, but Jack is also friendly with the Graeme's and so its not like he would feel if it were a forward over Luke, plus the RH shot

If ownership even says as much as a word to Fitzgerald about the draft though, itll be 'take Luke Hughes'

I think Buffalo shocks and takes Beniers 1 and Seattle takes the only true NHL ready guy 2 in Power

I think they will but it wouldn’t surprise me if they didn’t. I’m personally not completely sold on his offensive upside. I like how he’s plays the game as well as his speed I just have a hard time seeing him being a big point producer in the NHL.

I agree as well, either way if that plays out like that then we will have a pick of Clarke or Hughes which is a good thing

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Same here. As long as it’s one of them I’ll be happy though. I’ll probably be happy and get excited about whoever we take tbh even if it’s not them.

 

[Bcap88]

When’s the expansion draft?

There is a difference between friends and brothers. All things being equal, you take the player that will help you also secure your franchise center beyond his UFA eligibility.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

When’s the expansion draft?

July 21st I believe. Right before the entry draft

That's the way I see it going.

[PKs Broken Stick]

Does anyone remember what people said about quinn's defensive game in his draft year?

 

[Xirik]

IF we wanted to what do you think we'd have to give up to trade picks with the Ducks?

 

[njdevils1982]

Lawton just said it is hard to find great D.

I chuckled.

first overall lawton?

was hard to find a great F with that pick that year

 

[Emperoreddy]

I do expect a lot of mocks having us taking Luke solely because writers are lazy and having the team with his sibling makes writing that little byline easy.

 

[JimEIV]

I don't care which defenseman we take as long as it's a defenseman. And I think I want Luke right now.

That said, if this organization made a #4 overall decision with Jack in mind we're a bigger clown show than I even think we are.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

IF we wanted to what do you think we'd have to give up to trade picks with the Ducks?

Why would we do that?

Born in New Brunswick NJ!

 

[jkrdevil]

IF we wanted to what do you think we'd have to give up to trade picks with the Ducks?

We picked up a third round pick for swapping spots (11 and 12) with Ottawa in 2016.

 

[jkrdevil]

Why would we do that?

Ensure another team doesn’t trade into that spot.
