Hatakka,Vilen there you fill. Devils do not need a dman, they need a LW/C cuz jack is not a center, dude hurts the team being a doofus at faceoffs. Devils would be stupid to take a dman instead of trading down to get more pick to over pay for a goalie. Sick and tired of dumbies thinking NJ need a Dman.

My preference is best player available. But didn’t really make this from NJD perspective. It’s the entire 1st round.

Stiga is way too low. I have ranked #8 on my board, defensive game and skating alone he's solid. The lowest I see him going is 14th.

Also, why Greentree out of the first round?
