Jack Hughes. Scott Niedermayer. Jesper Bratt. Martin Brodeur. Those are just some of the names that were drafted, developed, and turned into a star all under the New Jersey Devils banner. The Devils had the right scouting, coaching, and everything else in place that is necessary to create stars from scratch.
Of course, it doesn’t always work out like that. There are more successes than failures when it comes to development in this organization. However, there are always the horror stories of players the Devils drafted who went elsewhere and got famous.
