Devils select John Quenneville, Joel’s cousin, with 30th pick

John Quenneville
The Devils chose John Quenneville, the cousin of former Devils and current Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville, with their first-round pick in tonight’s entry draft. He’s a center who last played for a team called Brandon of the WHL.

He’s 6’, 182-pounds, and played 61 games last year. In that time in the WHL, he scored 25 goals, 33 assists for 58 points. He had 71 penalty minutes.

TSN had him ranked at 32.

Of course, in my own disappointment, the Devils passed on Brendan Lemieux, son of Claude Lemieux. Perhaps Lou Lamoriello is planning on being able to pick Lemieux with the 41st pick in the second round.

Note: Awful job by the league and NBC Sports. At 10 p.m., the network broke from its coverage, sending viewers to NBC Sports Live Extra online -- or the network not many people have, the NHL Network, to watch the concluding coverage.

It’s 2014 -- and this cannot be happening still with the NHL.

(More on this awful crap in a future post).

In the meantime, here are some images from the Devs selecting Quenneville.
