With the start of the 2014 season there will no doubt be an influx of young new talent in the league due to injuries,call ups, and any other unforeseen events that all teams inevitably must deal with. The picks in the first round of the draft are never guaranteed a spot on the roster, but are the most likely to be called upon in the event a player is needed. Who knows, the next Alexander Ovechkin or Sidney Crosby could be one game away from taking the N.H.L by storm. So here are the first round picks from the devils. the Rangers deal for st.Lois gave their first round picks to Tampa Bay, Glen Sather only chose to draft seven new talents as an addition to the team that made such a valiant playoff run last season, he must be very confident in his line up. But these are the players that are most likely to be seen this year as additions to the N.J. Devils and N.Y. Rangers
