5 Players At Development Camp That Could Make New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devils welcome their development camp this week, as the youngsters in the system get to play in front of the big league coaches. There are some players who are on the cusp of making the Devils roster.

The New Jersey Devils welcome 33 hockey players to the Prudential Center this week in order to show their stuff and prove they have a future with this organization. Some of the players are former Devils draft picks, while others were invited to the camp, and looking to make something of their opportunity. No matter the circumstances, there are a few players we expect to see in the very near future. Some have been waiting for their shot in Binghamton, others have master Juniors and want another shot, then there’s the ones who played overseas prior to this year.

The Devils didn’t do much this offseason so far. That means, there are spots open that young players can take advantage of. There’s no way one could predict what will happen with the forwards or the defense. In fact, there’s a route for most of the players at development camp to make the jump to the main roster.

Just look at what Jesper Bratt did last season. He went from having no expectations to making the Opening Night roster. This came from a sixth-round pick coming into the NHL at just 19 years old. It all started with a strong showing at last year’s development camp.

Who could be that player this year? Here are five players who can use this week to make the jump.
