The Grind Line: Red Wings' Draft Options at Fourth Overall
June 29th, 2020 What’s The Grind Line? Apart from the once-famous line of Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, and either Joe Kocur or Darren McCarty, The Grind Line is also The Hockey Writers’ weekly column about the Detroit Red Wings. This week, Devin Little, Raymond Harrison, and Tony Wolak are the muckers who make up THW’s forechecking unit and sound...
Prospects News & Rumors: Byfield, Raymond & Hockey Canada
June 29th, 2020 The National Hockey League wanted to create interest with the 2020 Draft Lottery and they sure accomplished that. We still have wait until the Qualifying Round of the Stanley Cup playoffs concludes to know who gets to make the first overall selection, but that didn’t stop one of the top prospects from sharing his thoughts about a...
Devils Should Keep Diving Into European Draft Waters
June 17th, 2020 When Paul Castron took over as the New Jersey Devils' Director of Amateur Scouting in 2015, he had a tall task at hand. The organization's farm system was barren and in desperate need of some skill. The first draft he was in charge of came in 2016. And since then, we've seen some trends develop in the team's draft...
New Jersey Devils: Analyzing Mock Draft Selections
May 30th, 2020 The New Jersey Devils are in the unique position of having three first-round picks (as it stands) at the 2020 Draft. That should be to their advantage, as there's plenty of high-end talent in this year's first-round, particularly in the top 15. And that's what made taking part in THW's mock draft so much fun. The Devils have...
Anaheim Ducks' 2020 Draft Targets: Lucas Raymond
May 17th, 2020 It's been over two months since the last time we were able to watch hockey, and we still have no idea when and if the season will return at all. However, there is one thing we can still do — speculate about who the Anaheim Ducks will select at the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. Before the season was suspended the Ducks held the fifth-overall...
Devils Drafting Lucas Raymond Would Be Dream Scenario
May 14th, 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. When we here at THW released our mock...
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...
Maple Leafs News & Rumors: Marner & Raymond, McFarland, Gilmour
May 9th, 2020 The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to make news and stir rumors even without playing regular-season hockey games. In today’s news and rumors post, I’ll share about a young Swedish prospect whose role model is the Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner and who hockey commentators suggest, in fact, plays a game similar to Marner’s. That young...
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...
