NJ LD position is fine right now, they have smith and Hughes. NJ already said they would trade the pick for an impact player that can help them now and many say they are very interested in Fiala being that player. plus, I think PZ would be a great fit in MN since hes big and can make hits. without PZ MN depth is extremely weak and chances they make it to the second round is incredibly unlikely with PZ their chances are better (not totally better cuz its just one player but still better). MN needs depth and yall need to spend money to get it
Don’t overthink the righty/lefty thing (when Devils won their first cup in 1995, they had six lefties on their blueline). But Nemec is a righty who plays RD.
Looking at Devils pipeline….
Lefties who play LD: Siegenthaler, Graves, Smith, Bahl, Okhotiuk, Edwards
Lefties who play RD: Hughes, Mukhamadullin
Righties who play RD: Hamilton, Severson, Walsh, McCarthy
And the Devils very well may draft another center. They are having Cooley and Wright visit NJ for extended tours, interviews, etc
