Devils Have Key Decision to Make With the 10th Pick in NHL Draft

The one silver lining coming out of a season when everything that could go wrong for the New Jersey Devils did is that they enter the 2024 NHL Draft with the 10th overall pick in a draft stocked with top-level talent well beyond their selection. The Devils have depleted a once consensus top-five prospect pool through attrition and trades and would benefit from adding a bonafide talent. Currently, the Devils only have two forwards playing for their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate in Utica, which they selected in one of the first three rounds, Chase Stillman and Graeme Clarke.
