The Devils did well with their final pick of the 2022 NHL Draft, taking Artem Barabosha from Russia. The right-shot D was ranked 79th by the Red Line Report reporting, "there's a really nice upside here for a team that's willing to wait a couple years."
Barabosha played seven games for the CKSA Moscow U18 team but spent most of the season in the MHL with Krasnaya Armiya where he had 11 points in 45 games. At 6'2" he provides both size and mobility.
