Devilsfan118 2,568 Posted June 23 (edited) No. 61 (second round) - D Nikita Okhotyuk, Ottawa 67s (OHL) Okhotyuk is a big, physical defender, weighing in at 6-1 and 194 pounds. He’s not a big scorer, posting just 17 points in 56 regular-season games in 2018-19. The Devils’ prospect pool features several offensive, puck-moving defensemen, so Okhotyuk represents the other end of the spectrum. The Devils have tried to add those types of players to the blue line (thing Steven Santini, Dalton Prout, Eric Gryba), so the team clearly sees some value in them. That’s what Okhotyuk projects to be. https://www.nj.com/devils/2019/06/meet-the-devils-2019-draft-class-jack-hughes-nikita-okhotyuk-graeme-clarke-headline-11-picks.html Edited June 23 by Devilsfan118 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, that would require him to care about how he pronounces anyone’s name, and all appearances are that he does not lol. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel 1,491 Posted June 24 Seems pretty clear that they spent a few picks hoping to find Brandon Carlo. Hopefully it goes better than Conte’s quest for the next Milan Lucic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
