The New Jersey Devils just recently acquired Swiss defenseman Mirco Müller from the San Jose Sharks, drafted Nico Hischier first overall yesterday, and now also add Senn to their prospect pool.

With Leonardo Genoni leaving HC Davos to join SC Bern, the two youngsters Gilles Senn and Detroit Red Wings pick Joren van Pottelberghe had to carry the load for Davos. Senn, who has been part of HC Davos’ organisation since 2011, appeared in 34 regular season games for HCD as well as ten playoff games.
