If the New Jersey Devils use both 1st-round picks in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, that makes 43 1st-round picks since relocating to the Garden State in 1982. From Stanley Cup Champions and Hall-of-Famers, to players whose numbers now hang in the Rock’s rafters, New Jersey has made some memorable 1st-round draft picks.
