The New Jersey Devils have made marked improvements this offseason. Things should go better, but the reality is the competition is going to be very hard again in the 2020-21 season. This could lead to another rough season for the Devils. There is a positive development with all this. This year’s NHL Draft is one of the deepest in terms of defensemen in a long time.
In the past 20 years, only three defensemen have been chosen first overall, but most 2021 mock drafts, including this one from ESPN, have Michigan’s Owen Power as the top pick.
