The Devils made a splash on Day 1 of the NHL Draft after selecting Team USA
defenseman Luke Hughes
, brother of the
team's star center Jack
, with the fourth-overall pick. New Jersey followed that up by using a second first-round pick (29th overall) to take tenacious
forward Chase Stillman
.
Both moves
address some organizational needs
for defensive depth and add toughness to the future lineup. And it doesn't hurt that both players
come from hockey bloodlines
, whether it's the Hughes brothers or Stillman following in his father's footstep, former NHLer Cory.
On Day 2, the Devils will fill out their draft card. Here's a look at who New Jersey added to the fold on Saturday.
