Today,we start our three part interview with Jared Ramsden of Hockey's Future (which can be reached from our links page.
Jared is the Devils prospect guru of the site and was gracious enough to spend some time with us on the Devils system.
Thanks to him for the time.
Thoughtsof RS: In researching,I saw that Hockey's Future put up a updated list of the Devils system's top prospects,where do the Devils rank in the league as far as the quality of their system?
Jared Ramsden: Hockey's Future places more of a premium on star potential player, something the Devils don't have a lot of. So on HF, they probably rank in the bottom third of the league. They have quality depth though, across the board, except when it comes to goaltending.
TRS: Mattias Tedenby and Jacob Josefson maintained their spot at the top of the rankings,what do you see as their chances to be in New Jersey next season or at least Lowell?

JR: Lowell is a good bet for both of them. Tedenby has an out clause that will allow him to come to North America next season, while Josefson's proven that he's mature enough to come to North America as well. 2011-12 is more likely when we would see them in New Jersey.
TRS:Tedenby is touted as a flashy Parise type player,is this accurate and has he raised his stock thus far in his Swedish league play?

JR: I don't know if Tedenby has the grit of a Parise type player, but he's got a lot of flash and glamour to his game. And his speed and quickness is phenomenal.
TRS: Josefson,on the other hand,is reported to be more like a typical Devils prospect in being a solid two way center,how accurate is that?

JR: Josefson does fit the mold of a typical Devils prospect. He is great at both ends of the rink, and he has fantastic on ice awareness and hockey smarts. Makes those playing with him better.
TRS: The fast riser in your rankings is defenseman Alexander Urbom,who made a huge leap in your rankings.Tell us a little bit about Urbom...
JR: Urbom has everything you look for in a defenseman. A great blend of size and skill. And scary thing is, once he gets stronger and asserts himself more physically, he'll be a beast to play against. Playing in the WHL has helped develop his offensive skill set.
