The original poster was asking about players who hadn't yet played in the NHL yet, or had a prolonged stint like Josefson/Tedenby. At least from the Devils side:
- Adam Henrique - looked good in the season finale, but remains to be seen if the organization would rather have him in a bottom 6 (if not 4th line) NHL capacity, or at top 6 AHL spot.
- Alex Urbom - His chances will depend on what the Devils do to address the D. Another year in the AHL wouldn't hurt.
- Brandon Burlon/Eric Gelinas/Mike Hoeffel - Both will be first year pros, so most of us are expecting at least a full year in the AHL.
I see I didn't really read the OP I thought it was about players who will make an impact this year who haven't played the NHL for that long yet.
