New Jersey Devils prospect Steven Santini was on the United States at the 2014 World Junior Championships, and there's a good chance he'll be on the team again in 2015.
Santini was among the 42 players invited to the U.S. evaluation camp in early August, and is one of seven players eligible to return from last year's team.
Possible returnees tend to be near locks for World Junior rosters each year, and given Santini's strong play at the World Juniors last year as well as an impressive rookie campaign at Boston College, he's essentially a lock to make the team.
Santini was a 2nd round pick of the Devils in 2013, and while many U.S. scouts liked the pick at the time, he seems to be trending upwards since the draft.
The Devils don't have a need for more quality young defensemen, but it looks like they may just have another one.
Below is an ISO video of Santini while playing for USA against Canada in the Gold medal game at the U18 tournament.
