Devils select John Quenneville with 30th overall pick

The New Jersey Devils selected center John Quenneville with the 30th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Quenneville, a two-way center for the WHL's Brandon Wheat Kings, recorded 25 goals and 58 points in 61 games. He is the second cousin of Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville.

The Devils were locked into the final pick of the first round as a penalty for cap circumvention in the Ilya Kovalchuk signing. They were also unable to trade up in the draft and will receive the 11th pick in the remaining rounds.

Quenneville was a member of Team Canada's U18 squad at this year's IIHF World Championships, posting a goal and an assist in seven games.
