The New Jersey Devils don’t have a great farm system until you look at the individual level. That’s not a compliment. The Utica Comets, their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, is the worst team in the North Division, and like the Devils, getting ready for a final stretch in a lost season.
That said, there are some standout prospects, specifically on the defense. That will come in handy for the Devils if they retool at the trade deadline. If Dougie Hamilton is moved or if the veterans who have battled injury all season, who gets the call? There are a few names to watch not just down the stretch but for the future as well.
