5 Binghamton Devils Who Could Eventually Debut With New Jersey

Gilles Senn

The Devils currently have four different goalies on the roster that would have to go through waivers. It’s a much better situation than they were facing immediately before the season started when Corey Crawford suddenly retired. They have Mackenzie Blackwood coming off the COVID-19 protocol list, Eric Comrie and Aaron Dell off waivers, and Scott Wedgewood, who signed for his second stint this past offseason. Something will likely have to give and one player won’t be on the roster soon.

It’s likely either going to be Dell or Comrie who has an extremely short career with the Devils. It will likely lead to the Devils having three goalies on the main roster and taxi squad. If the Devils lost two of those players through waivers, then they have a hard decision to make. It likely means one of Binghamton’s goalies have to be on the taxi squad. To start the season, they’ve elected to make that Gilles Senn.

If this season taught us anything, we need to prepare for any possibility. Senn has already had to suit up for the Devils after injuries struck the Devils goalie position. It’s the Murphy’s Law of positions. The Devils know that there will be a lot of goalies on the stat line if Blackwood ends up missing any more time. Senn was good at times last season, although he’s still far away from NHL ready. The Devils will likely be forced to give him a shot as Evan Cormier and Jeremy Brodeur still not close to NHL-level talents. Cormier could build to that, but right now Senn is the most likely candidate to get a goalie game under his belt in the NHL.
