“Adding Devon is a huge get for us,” said coach Chad Berman. “With a good summer of work, he has a chance to immediately step in as ‘top 2’ defensemen and should provide an immediate boost to our power play. He is a great skater that attacks two on one’s really well and understands how to use his feet to create shooting lanes. Not to mention, he is another kid coming from a winning program, those kinds of players understand what it takes to be successful.”
