Devils Benefited From a Goose Invasion
April 8th, 2020 There's no doubt plenty of hockey writers, including myself, thought the New Jersey Devils won the 2019 offseason. They acquired P.K. Subban from the Nashville Predators for close to nothing. They also drafted Jack Hughes at the 2019 Entry Draft and signed Wayne Simmonds in free agency. Of those additions, only Hughes...

February 4th, 2020 The NHL Trade Deadline can be one of the most exciting times of the season for fans around the league. If your team is contention for a playoff spot, and even the Stanley Cup, you'll be keeping an eye on who your team could acquire to help make a deep playoff run. That excitement may not be the same if a team is out of contention and...
Devils Showing Signs of Life Under Nasreddine
January 3rd, 2020 The month of December was a rollercoaster of a month for the New Jersey Devils. It started with the firing of head coach John Hynes on Dec. 3 and was followed by trading away star winger Taylor Hall just less than two weeks later. The Devils didn't receive any immediate NHL talent in trading Hall, so it'll take a...
Devils Being Rewarded for Gusev Gamble
December 28th, 2019 The New Jersey Devils had one of the most active offseasons of any NHL team in 2019. They traded for P.K. Subban, drafted Jack Hughes with the first overall pick, and signed Wayne Simmonds in free agency. But no acquisition had more hype than that of Nikita Gusev, who the Devils acquired from the Golden Knights for a...
Devils at the Quarter Mark: Little Margin for Error
November 27th, 2019 The New Jersey Devils haven't gotten off to the start they've wanted or expected. Through their first 23 games, they have an 8-11-4 record, which puts them at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division. That's not where many people — including myself — predicted this team would be, especially after an offseason that...
Devils Still Seeking Right Lineup
October 9th, 2019 Hype. That's one word associated with the New Jersey Devils at the beginning of the 2019-20 season. They had one of the most active offseasons of any NHL team, so the excitement was understandable. But that's quickly vanished after a less than satisfying start to the season. They blew a four-goal lead in the final 20 minutes of...

Subban and Nikita...
Devils to Keep an Eye on During Preseason
September 13th, 2019 The 2019-20 season is right around the corner.

Devils' Expectations Heading into 2019-20 Season
September 10th, 2019 The New Jersey Devils had arguably one of, if not the busiest offseasons in the NHL this summer. Not only did they hold the first-overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, but they also made some of the boldest roster transactions via the trade wire and free agency. Normally blockbuster moves and busy offseasons increase expectations...
Devils' Roster Is Built to Contend
August 30th, 2019 The New Jersey Devils had one of the most active summers of any NHL team. And that should've been expected with how they ended last season at the bottom of the league. It also was no time to sit back, with Taylor Hall entering the final year of his contract. General manager Ray Shero needed to make moves to show they're serious about...
Devils 2019-20 Roster: What Are the Lines Going to Look Like
August 16th, 2019 The New Jersey Devils' lineup will look much different when preseason hockey begins in a little over a month. They had one of the most active offseasons of any NHL team, adding plenty of talent to the roster, but especially at forward. They started by selecting center Jack Hughes with the first overall pick at the Entry Draft. A...
Devils' Busy Offseason Rolls on with Gusev Trade
July 30th, 2019 If there was one offseason move the New Jersey Devils still needed to make, it was adding a top-six talent. They took care of that yesterday when they acquired Nikita Gusev from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for a 2020 third-round pick and 2021 second-round pick....
