What is the story about?
It’s draft season, so there are some moves and the Devils made another one, this time acquiring 23-year-old center Amadeus Lombardi from the Detroit Redwings for their 4th round selection in the 2026 NHL entry draft.
Lombardi has been nearly a point-per-game player for the Grand Rapids Griffins for the past two seasons. My initial reaction
is this is a smart gamble. Fourth round picks rarely materialize and clearly the Devils see something in Lombardi, who would be competing for a bottom 6 center role in camp this year. The Devils need center depth and they obtained that in this move for minimal cost.
