Devils Young Guns and the future.

There has been many things said about Mattias Tedenby recently as he was +2 with a goal and an assist in his return to the lineup. (Highlight of his goal below) This came against the Islanders on Monday (Martin Luther King Day)matinee. For the six games he was scratched from the lineup many were already questions Jacques Lemaires decision to not play Tedenby. We should all have a little more faith as Tedenby worked hard in practices to make it back to the lineup and it paid off. Fans should be excited at watching a young talent like this develop. His goal against the islanders is one for the highlight real as it show cased his speed, puck control and shooting ability. (shown below)



The Fans should also keep an eye out for Zharkov as he finally netted his first nhl goal against the islanders as well. This was his first goal out of 11 shots this season and a total of 54 shots since entering the nhl. I predict he will break out with a few more goals over the next few games. Zharkov has played 9 games this season and has shown great improvement under Lemaire.
(see his goal below)



Lastly lets take a look at Palmieri who has been calling Travis Zajac and Kovalchuk his linemates pretty much the entire time he has been called up from Albany. Nick Palmieri has shown he can score and make great passes for zajac and Kovy. He sees the ice real well. He is composed and quick to make the correct decisions on the ice. Below is his 2nd NHL goal that came against the panthers on the 15th of January. His first nhl goal was a empty netter.



The young players that are developing in the minor league system show great promise for years to come. Even with a record that isn't so great, watching these young guns is exciting. Lamoreillo has always put together a great scouting team that has found some great players.

(also note that I didnt talk about taromina who is likely to be out the rest of the season or Josefson who is in albany currently. Also great young players)
