New Jersey remains without a first round pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.
As it stands, New Jersey has six picks, one in each round except for the first. During his end-of-season media availability, Devils’ general manager Tom Fitzgerald said, “We don’t have a first-round pick. That doesn’t mean we won’t get one.”

What do you think he can be traded for?
It’s been reported his name has been hot in trade talks. I’m guessing a hockey trade but if not maybe a 3rd at best.
I don’t know about that, I don’t think Fitz would trade yegor just for the sake of a trade. In my mind, it would either be apart of a bigger deal or trade a pick or medium prospect to bring it up to a second.
Walsh for example needs a contract this summer and there has been any info or rumors one way or the other about a trade or extension. So he could reasonably go in a draft trade for a higher pick
That’s a good possibility. An early 2nd would be fantastic
