What happened: Luke Wilfley and Quinn McKenzie opened their first rookie camp with the New Jersey Devils. Amanda Stein caught up with both in Devils Download as they discussed taking in the start of camp.

Why it matters: Rookie camp is the first organized checkpoint of the fall for young players trying to adjust to a pro setting. For New Jersey, even routine September sessions help shape the early depth picture before the calendar turns toward exhibition action.

What to watch: The next watch is whether Wilfley and McKenzie keep surfacing as camp moves from introductions to fuller on-ice evaluation. A longer look later in camp would offer a clearer read on how each fits into the pipeline.
