Devils Boost Center Depth with Smart Draft Moves

The Devils turned their draft day into a prospect-building masterclass, trading down to snag two high-upside centers for the future. They swapped picks to land a later-round pick, then pulled off a savvy deal to re-acquire a fourth-round pick — which they used to draft Lavr Gashilov, a puck-magic center who led his league in assists. Later, they used a deep-draft pick to grab Quinn McKenzie, a fast, gritty scorer headed to Penn State. These moves massively strengthen their center depth, turning prospects into potential AHL stars — even if not all make it to the NHL.
