The New Jersey Devils took an intriguing player with their 5th-round pick.
The New Jersey Devils did pretty well with their 2020 NHL Draft class. Going into the 5th round, Tom Fitzgerald already took guaranteed commodities in Alexander Holtz and Dawson Mercer, high-upside plays in Nicolas Daws and Shakir Mukhamadullin, plus a couple of interesting options in Ethan Edwards and Jaromir Pytlík. The Devils could have gone off the reservation with their 130th pick. Instead, they took one of the best players on the draft board in Artem Shlaine.
