September 15th, 2017It has been a successful offseason for the New Jersey Devils, to say the least. Ranging from re-signing players to good contracts, to drafting the future of the franchise, general manager Ray Shero has done it all this summer. So before the preseason officially starts next...
September 7th, 2017File this one under bad ideas. Forget Mickey Mouse, this is downright Goofy. The New Jersey Devils are openly inviting visiting fans to "The Rock." Talk about hitting rock bottom. An email purportedly sent out by the organization states, "Not a Devils fan? That's...
August 2nd, 2017It has been five seasons since the New Jersey Devils qualified for the NHL playoffs but it has felt much longer than that. The reason is partly because that Stanley Cup appearance in 2012 was the Devils' lone meaningful playoff run in the past 14 years, since their 2003...
July 22nd, 2017Addition by subtraction. If New Jersey Devils general manager Ray Shero has achieved nothing else in what has been an eventful offseason for his club, he's been diligent in cutting dead weight. In a rebuild, there's a fine line between carrying useful veterans to help...
July 1st, 2017In the wake of the NHL entry draft, New Jersey has certainly replenished its prospect pool but the hard work is far from over. The Devils' GM Ray Shero has another busy period ahead of him—July 1, the start of NHL free agency. The Devils have some clear roster needs...
April 26th, 2017The New Jersey Devils are in a bit of a tough spot since ending the 2016-17 season in the last place for most goals in the league. In fact, it wasn’t that long ago when fans thought they might have been tanking in an effort to improve their odds of getting the first pick...

January 28th, 2017Leading up to the NHL All-Star break the New Jersey Devils played better in January than they did in December. However, better simply isn't good enough. Despite going a respectable 6-5-2, the team is still in the Eastern Conference basement. Through 50 contests the...

July 5th, 2016The first wave of the off-season and the free agent frenzy hit the Jersey Shore. With it, a tide of players washed up on the beach, while a good number more went out to sea. Some players stayed anchored to "The Rock." Although there's still more work to be done, the New...
June 30th, 2016It was a matter of if, not when. The Edmonton Oilers had a plethora of young forwards and a dearth of defense. Conversely the New Jersey Devils had a stockpile of young defensemen and were parched in scoring. Hence, the trade of Adam Larsson for Taylor Hall makes sense for...
March 26th, 2016While the Devils’ regular season may not end the way fans had hoped, Ray Shero’s first year as New Jersey’s general manager has been a success. Shero’s inaugural year with the Devils could simply be defined as thrifty and opportunistic. It started with the hiring...
