Welcome to New Jersey, Mikey McLeod! After Ray Shero traded down one spot, the Devils got their guy AND got an extra 3rd round pick from Ottawa. We’ll get a more in-depth look at McLeod after the draft is complete and we do a full draft analysis. At quick glance, McLeod could be exactly what the Devils need down the road, a two-way center with size AND speed. I remember the analysts last night saying that he may also be the “most competitive” player in this draft class.
Already at 6 foot 2, 185 pounds at 18 years old, McLeod will have time to develop his body and put on some weight to prepare for the NHL.
