devlman Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Man, just watching the NFL draft is really making the weeks to the NHL draft seem a hundred years away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 13 hours ago, NLinfante said: According to Masisak of the athletic, if Boston loses to CBJ, the Devils would have picks #1, #34, #54 and #55. Options range from: 1. Taking 4 of the top 55 prospects in one draft class 2. Trading one or two picks for a current NHl'er 3. Trading two picks to move up into the mid-late first round after picking at #1 Not too shabby. Also, maybe Ray is thinking of offer sheeting someone in which case it would be good to just use all four picks and load up before we go without a first for a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBallofHate Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 FWIW, Julie doesn't think Ray's going to do any offer sheeting. Her AMA was a decent read so I'm going to put it here in case anyone feels like checking it out (it's short): https://www.reddit.com/r/devils/comments/bgzqct/ama_with_julie_robenhymer_thursday_at_1pm/?sort=qa I don't see Shero signing an offer sheet any time soon. He pounces on value-adding opportunities. Consider all the veteran PTOs that gets signed during camp or quality players claimed off waivers mid-season or ridiculously smart trades. Plus, he values building a team through the drafting quality prospects far too much to give them away for someone he will likely be overpaying to sign. It just doesn't fit his MO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 plus we could have a GREAT forward group with Marner... but our D would still suck. And god knows which Schneider we'll get next year... so we could very well get another top 10 pick next year... its just too risky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, the Devils could trade number one for Colorado's entire draft, which includes four overall another first that might be around 20 and two third round picks and you would say it's even value, or close to it.

nessus Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I know there's a lot of interest in trading up for Caufield, but if there's one guy I would look at trading up to the mid first round for, it would be Zegras. This kid makes so many sneaky plays, and has incredible vision. When I was watching some of those World Juniors games, I kept asking myself who #11 was because there were so many NHL quality plays he was making. Players like Turcotte, Cozens, and Dach seem to have passed him in many of the rankings. He'll be a steal, IMO. As far as the Devils' first pick in the second round (or maybe one of the other 2nd rounders), I think Lassi Thomson could be a good target if he's available. Seems like an all around defenseman with some serious offensive upside. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid reminds me a lot of Elias with how smart of a player and playmaker he is. 2nd Round I'm not getting married to a lot of players just yet because the late 1st/early 2nd range seems very in flux, but I really have my eye on Jamieson Rees after the U18 he had. Love me some Patrik Puistola as well, both of those guys are forwards though. I'm not a big fan of this year's defense crop, but at 34 you could talk me into Mikko Kokkonen or Anttoni Honka.

vadvlfan Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Any ideas who we'll take early 2nd round? Somebody that was (supposedly taken in 1st) drops to us. Nolan Foote? John Beecher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Besides the obvious excitement with what NJ is doing this draft, it is also going to be interesting to see where Podkolzin lands given his situation. I wonder who is going to roll the dice. He is obviously top 10, maybe top 5, but sh!t what a gamble and this draft is deep. Caufield has also pushed himself into the conversion as a potential top 10 and is prob out of reach now along with Zegras. Really cool to see so many US kids in the top 10 this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for Hoglander to the Devils at 34, but after reading your assessment, that seems like wishful thinking. There will be some good players available there, regardless.

Hoglander is my pipe dream for the Devils at 34 (along with Tomasino, who at this point is an even deeper long shot), I think he'll likely be there in the 20's if the Devils are interested in a trade up but I'm a little doubtful he'll make it to the 2nd round. Wouldn't call it impossible though, crazier things have happened, I would have said the same thing about Bode Wilde last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Boqvist was going in the mid-late 20's in 2017, so it certainly could happen! Also, I really do not want the Rangers taking Seider with their second pick in the first round.
