5 Binghamton Devils Who Could Eventually Debut With New Jersey

Brett Seney

The Devils have seen plenty of Brett Seney already, and he is just a player they will always give a chance to while he’s in the organization. How long he will be in the organization is still up in the air, since he’s in the final year of his deal. He will be a restricted free agent. Honestly, don’t be terribly surprised if Seney might go to the Seattle Kraken in the expansion draft. Obviously, Seattle has to build an entire organization and not just take the 29 best players. They only have 23 spots on the NHL roster. They also need depth. That’s neither here nor there.

Seney is a great depth piece. He’s very small, so that limits some of the things he can do on the ice. He has a point per game to start the season. His only goal came 24 seconds into overtime in the second game of the season. It’s was a great play where he crashed the net and took a pass from the corner.

That’s what Seney brings. He’s sneaky in the offensive zone. He somehow continues to get away from defenders and puts himself in those high-danger areas. The Devils do have players who do that now, but if say a Miles Wood gets injured, don’t be surprised if Seney gets a call up.

Seney is unlikely to be a full-time NHLer. He has 53 NHL games throughout his career, and he’s already 24 years old. There’s still some room for growth, and maybe he can eventually play to the level of a Stephen Gionta, but for now he’s a really fun depth piece.
