Related to an earlier post about under-20 year old defensemen, I find that Jacob Josefson is the most recent young forward to appear for the Devils, the first since 1995-96, and one of a few hundred out of thousands in NHL history.
With training camp approaching, many fans are hoping Adam Larsson can make it onto the New Jersey Devils roster. Looking through Hockey-Reference, that would make Larsson a rare defenseman in Devils and NHL history.
The New Jersey Devils are in negotiations to sign Adam Larsson to entry level contract. In light of this news, I provide several reasons why he should play in Skellefteå in 2010-11 regardless of his ELC or what he does in camp for the Devils.
