New Jersey Devils prospects see varied success in KHL and developmental rankings

Former New Jersey Devils prospect Nathan Legare has made an immediate impact in the KHL after signing with Traktor Chelyabinsk. Following his departure from the Devils organization, Legare has recorded five goals in three preseason games, appearing to benefit from the larger ice sheet used in the Russian league.

In a separate assessment of the New Jersey Devils' developmental pipeline, Anton Silayev is ranked as the top prospect. The 6-foot-7 defenseman is projected as a top-four shutdown defender due to his physical presence and skating ability. Mikhail Yegorov follows as a notable goaltending prospect with potential to become an NHL starter.
