[Scooooooooooooot]

Jake Sanderson is my guy in this draft, hope we pick pretty late and he doesnt rise up the board.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I'm going to say it right now, I really like Lucas Raymond. Idk if he has enough credentials to take that #1 spot, but in terms of skill? I think he has that potential.

 

[Blackjack]

When do we have a 2nd round pick again? 2022?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

correct.

the 2020 2nd went in the Subban trade and the 2021 2nd went in the Gusev trade

 

[Darkauron]

Devils will be picking 31st

 

[Nubmer6]

Devils will be picking 31st

Don't say that!

There will be 32 teams by then

I really loved Lundell’s game in WJC. (Hopefully) the Devils are picking in the backend of the first round, so they likely don’t have a shot at him, but I was more impressed with Lundell than I was Kakko, J Hughes (hurt), and lafreniere during that short tourney.

 

[My3Sons]

Talvite was better than all those guys to my eyes. Short tournaments can be tricky that way.

For sure. Not advocating picking Lundell over Lafreniere if we had the choice...or that he’s better than Hughes haha, but based on that small sample size I certainly wouldn’t be upset if he somehow ended up on the Devils.

ofc he was....he was a lot older lol. Age has to be considered too. It's why I don't discount Lafreniere too much based on that tourney. Although....I don't think he's as good as people keep saying he is.

 

[AfroThunder396]

With Simmonds getting hurt in training camp our season is effectively over....might as well start getting to know these guys now.

Fair point, and I'm sure for some guys the difference between 16/17 and 19 is a universe apart. Talvite's performance was probably a testament to him rather than a knock on the younger guys.

But we do have our 6th round pick.

no jake sanderson? how dare you

 

[thethinglonger]

He's just outside my 31 at this point, but I'll get plenty of opportunities to watch him play.

Good. We'll get Anderson with the 31st pick

 

[Nocashstyle]

Too early to pick this discussion back up? Or nah?

[BenedictGomez]

Nah.

The Devils season is likely over already, unless you think they can flip a switch and play >= .565 hockey the rest of the way.

I dont believe that's likely. At all.

Thus, once again I'm hopefull on ping-pong balls for a #1 pick, this time Lafreniere.

 

[MauDevils]

Pick a guy who plays defense.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Give me Kaiden Guhle

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Who can we target with our late first we get for Hall?
