Matyas Melovsky

October 2024 – The Devils’ final draft selection in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft was perhaps their most underrated, as Melovsky has the tools to become a legitimate NHLer. The playmaking center relies on physicality to get things done, harnessing his already-NHL-level strength to fend opponents off and create space for his teammates. His shot needs some work, as does his skating, but his physical edge, size, and strength with the puck will be his bread and butter if he ever jumps into a bottom-line center role in the big leagues.
