Devils Ranked 12th in NHL Prospect Pipeline: A Closer Look at the Future
"The Athletic ranked all 32 NHL prospect pipelines, placing the New Jersey Devils 12th overall. The Devils trailed behind: 11. Detroit Red Wings 10. Nashville Predators 9. New York Islanders 8. Columbus Blue Jackets 7. Philadelphia Flyers 6. Seattle Kraken 5. Montreal Canadiens 4. Anaheim Ducks 3. Utah Mammoth 2. Chicago Blackhawks 1. San Jose Sharks. Despite that, the Devils boast a strong group of prospects, several of whom are expected to make an impact this season."
"On defense, Seamus Casey split last season between New Jersey and Utica. He logged 14 NHL games and 20 with the AHL's Comets, and now looks to secure a more permanent spot with the team. From Boston University come two additional prospects: Shane Lachance and Mikhail Yegorov. Lachance, a forward, posted 30 points with the BU Terriers last season. Originally a sixth-round pick of Edmonton in 2021, he was acquired by New Jersey in a March 5, 2025, trade."
The New Jersey Devils' prospect pipeline sits 12th among NHL organizations. The pipeline includes Anton Silayev, a defenseman taken 10th overall in 2024 who had 12 points in 63 KHL games with Torpedo. Arseniy Gritsyuk, a 2019 fifth-round pick, has moved from the KHL to North America and is expected to push for an NHL role. Lenni Hämeenaho, 20, drafted 58th overall in 2023, will attend training camp but likely receive more development time. Seamus Casey split last season between New Jersey and Utica, logging 14 NHL games and 20 AHL games. Boston University products Shane Lachance and goaltender Mikhail Yegorov provide additional depth and future upside.
