Final Draft Scenarios

Team: 2022-23 New Jersey Devils

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 6, 2022

Published: Jul. 6, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

These are some scenarios I could see the Devils considering:

IF Shane Wright goes 1st:
1) Drafting Slaf @ #2

IF Slafkovsky goes 1st:
1) Draft Wright @ #2
2) Trade back with Columbus for #6 & #12 (Nemec/Jiricek and Kasper/BPA)
3) Trade with Detroit below. Detroit gets their #2 Center and Devils get #8 and a future top 4 Dman. I believe the value is pretty close:

#2 = 12.3
Ty Smith = roughly a mid 2nd round pick
and a 4th

for

#8 = 6.7
Edvinsson = 7.6 (Drafted 6th last year)

I really hope the Devils just take BPA at 2, but if Wright for some reason doesn't go 1st, I could see so many scenarios where teams look to trade up that are in need of finding a Top 6 Center like Wright.
