Senators' 2020 Draft First-Round Targets
June 29th, 2020 The 2020 NHL Draft Lottery was close to the worst-case scenario for the Ottawa Senators. After going in with the second and third-best odds to win the first overall selection, they dropped to third and fifth and were left to watch a placeholder team win the coveted first pick. The only team who fared worse was the Detroit Red Wings, who...
Anaheim Ducks’ 2020 Draft Targets: Alexander Holtz

June 6th, 2020 Recently, team writers from across The Hockey Writers' network took place in a mock draft. Originally we planned on covering the first two rounds, but we couldn't contain ourselves and a full seven-round mock draft was born. This was a lot of fun for everyone involved and was a great exercise to see how writers would address their...
Sabres' First and Second-Round Draft Targets
May 11th, 2020 With the NHL draft being mere days (weeks, months... who really knows at this point) away, teams are no doubt ramping up their virtual draft prep. Although the Buffalo Sabres should really look to trade their first-round pick for help right now, it appears unlikely that teams will be trading before the draft. The Sabres currently hold...
Devils Draft Targets: Alexander Holtz
May 11th, 2020 As we await word on when the NHL will hold its draft, it seems like a good time to begin looking at which players the New Jersey Devils should target. As it stands, they hold three first-round picks — all of which will be in the top 20 — in what's a stacked first round. The Devils had a rough 2019-20 and could use a bit of...
Devils' Draft Strategy Could Hinge on Their Needs
April 13th, 2020 The best draft strategy is taking the best player available, especially in the first round. And it should be no different for the New Jersey Devils at the 2020 Entry Draft. They hold the sixth, 10th, and 17th overall picks without help from the draft lottery, although what picks they maintain could change depending on how the NHL...

Devils' Draft Fortunes Could Be Boosted by NHL Suspension
March 16th, 2020 The coronavirus may have put a pause on the NHL, but things will return to normalcy at some point. And when that happens, that means there'll be hockey to be played. There's no fixed date or how the NHL plans to proceed once the spread of the virus has slowed enough where games can begin again. But with the CDC announcing...
