I'd be surprised if this pick ends up any later than 20th overall next year.

Lots of reason to think the Devils will climb the standings but there are some reasons why they might not either.
L Hughes and Nemec are still very young
J Hughes gets hurt every year
Hischier gets hurt often too
Markstrom is old so you never know what you will get
Hamilton missed tons of time
East is the better conference. Good teams miss the playoffs every year.
