I almost prefer the 2025. Love that 2025 draft class!
I can’t say I’m a draft class expert, not something I keep up with all that well usually, but more than fair.
I expect the devils first next year to be much later than this years 1st.
This years 1st is going to be in the 18-22ish range if we make the playoffs (and don’t make the ECF bc in that case it goes to SJS)
I expect us to be much better next regular season and that pick to be in the 24-27 range if we don’t make the ECF.
With dougie back, better health, goaltending, and development from Luke and Nemec (this is the big one), I expect us to be a much better team next year
That’s all the insight I can provide. I’d offer the 2025 1st instead if you prefer it no strings attached (outside of like top 10 protection for some crazy scenario just in case as there always is)
