Devils’ top forward prospects make a statement before training camp: ‘We found some chemistry’
New York TimesBUFFALO, N.Y. — While there could be one or two openings at forward for a Devils rookie to earn a spot during training camp, New Jersey has gathered a few veteran insurance policies over the past week. That looked prudent Friday night after the Devils’ top prospects not named Dawson Mercer struggled at times against the Sabres. I think he made really good strides today in making a statement that he’s here to compete for a job.” The Holtz goal was pretty, and that’s what he’s going to be expected to do. Mercer, Foote and Holtz aren’t likely to make the team as an extra forward, so they will probably need to earn a spot on one of the top four lines. If we’re just going by these two games, it seems like Clarke and Thompson are behind Mercer, Holtz and Foote in the pecking order, but that could change pretty quickly once training camp starts.
