Safe to say the New Jersey Devils weren't expecting to be missing the playoffs this badly going into the 2023-24 NHL season after finishing 23rd in the league's overall standings. However, holding the 10th overall pick will allow them to either add another elite prospect to their system or trade it for immediate help, perhaps goaltending.
Their most obvious need seems to be goaltending. Despite doing a quick shakeup at the trade deadline by removing Vitek Vanecek and adding Kaapo Kakkonen and Jake Allen from the San Jose Sharks and the Montreal Canadiens, their still missing a true number one goaltender.
Juuse Saros, John Gibson and Linus Ullmark are all names who can be intirguing for the Devils to acquire, curious to see if GM Tom Fitzgerald trades his 10th overall pick for one of these goaltenders.
