Seriously - going to be a long wait for the draft to finally get here.
If the Devils pick up one of Barzal, Zacha or Rantanen (assuming the top 5 goes as expected) I'll be happy. This franchise just terrifies me with going off the board with their picks (call it the Adrian Foster effect) - though thankfully they made the obvious pick with Larsson a few years back.
I think picks at the end of the first can't be judged the same as picks in the top half of the draft. Besides, the Devils haven't really done a ton of reaches lately. Quenneville and Matteau were rated at around the point they went and Larsson was a no brainer.
