In This Video I discuss if Will The New Jersey Devils will DRAFT Simon Edvinsson In the 2021 NHL Draft. Edvinsson is projected to go early in the First round, but some scouts and NHL analysts have him going later in the first round. Edvinsson is a smooth skating, puck moving defenseman that will attract alot of NHL teams looking to bolster their defense for the future.
With the likes of Owen Power, Luke Hughes, Edvinsson, Brandt Clarke the Devils will have alot of good defensive prospects to look at to draft and build their future blueline.

I'm excited for the opportunity of bringing in a top Defenceman prospect. But I don't really have an opinion yet on who that should be.
Great video joe! Sorry it's been awhile, had a second kid, very busy haha. I thought it was great developmental season. A lot of growth, hopefully it sticks! And draft wise, I'd like a a right handed d man if we can get on early! We have a ton of lefties in the system. Or a good goal scorer again. Take care, keep up the great content man. I still watch them all!!
We need DEFENSE, PERIOD. Hughes, Edvinsson, Power, Brandt, etc., just grab one already! We picked Hischier first overall, but Makar would arguably have pushed us further along at this point.
The pick has to be Luke Hughes
We have to draft Luke Hughes, and that's my expectation. Drafting Luke will more than likely get us Quinn as well. Having Jack and Luke on the same team will attract Quinn here, especially since he's in a contract year on the cap-strapped trainwreck of Vancouver. We hired Fitz particularly to offersheet. This is the perfect opportunity to offersheet Quinn to unite the Hughes trio. If Luke is taken before we pick, I expect us to draft Clarke for the right side.
Any of the big names at the top of the draft order will do so Power, Hughes, Clarke, or Edvinsson. I also like Holtz teammate William Eklund.
Good choice. I also like Luke Hughes
Looks good. Take the best available player. We have so many holes, we really need to draft well and sign a few free agents before Hughes gets frustrated and signs with another team when his contract expires.
To be honest he sounds very similar to our 20th pick last year in Muhkamadullin…slightly more developed in some areas as well as less developed in others. Long reach going from 20th overall last year to a 4-6th overall for the same type of player. I truly think Luke Hughes is a LOCK if he is available. Scouts also say he could end up being the best player from this entire draft. Tough year to scout players so I think the devils play it safe and take Luke Hughes. Same as the Nico pick, you just cant go wrong taking Luke. Get a great defensive prospect which we already need and add the younger brother of our soon to be best overall player which would make locking Jack down in New Jersey much easier. Great video as always Joe!
I missed the comment where you said hes shows some attitude/arrogance. Devils usually draft based on character as much as skill so think they might pass on this Swede!
Honestly know very little about all these players. Just hope that whoever they take turns out to be really good.
I thought earlier today that Owen Power was the #1 defenseman and prospect in 2021. He very well could be. But even if the Draft Lottery happens and let's say the Devils pick second and Power goes to the Sabres, I will guarantee that I will not be disappointed about drafting Simon Edvinsson! There's a lot of competition for defensemen and our team really needs to improve our defensive core. My only question is, does the Hockey Skatedown have a video about Owen Power because there could be a lot of discussion in these draft rooms about defensemen?
Trade the pick for an NHL star winger
