The #NJDevils definitely need to address center depth this off-season, be it a 3C who can slide up in the lineup or a T6 wing who can slide to the middle if need be.
If they’re looking for a value deal, I’m not sure there’s a better candidate than Claude Giroux.

With the #NJDevils having been eliminated from the postseason last night by #RaiseUp , I’d like to talk about a few Devils players I was impressed by and a few I was disappointed by in the postseason.
Let’s get into it:
(1/?)
The #NJDevils competed in Game 2, but were the even better team tonight. Controlled just over 64% of the expected goals at 5v5. They deserved that win.
Wrote about this earlier this week, but you probably can't afford to keep Bratt and Hischier on the same line b/c the rest of the forward group is mostly that bad.
Probably need to get Timo, Nico and Noesen back and pair Bratt up with Glass

The NCAA season has come to an end, for the most part (only the Frozen Four remain).
With that in mind, there are some college free agents the #NJDevils should have on their radar. Let’s get into it:

Luke Hughes was electric, but that was another solid team win for the #NJDevils.

“Keefe is a grinder. I think in Toronto, I don’t think he got enough credit for how much he grinded some of those guys behind the scenes. I’ve heard it’s been adjustment for some of those New Jersey guys.”

🚨 NEW for #DOTR 🚨

🚨 NEW for #DOTR 🚨
It was only one game, but Cody Glass made quite the first impression in his #NJDevils debut.

With all these moves done, this is what the Devils’ lineup would look like, with $200k in cap space. That’s a true Stanley Cup contender, through and through.
While I do genuinely believe the #NJDevils can make some noise in this postseason, in my opinion, the character of their team will really be defined this offseason.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at a way, way-too-early ideal Devils’ offseason:

Devils not a TDL loser?! That’s not what I heard!

Now that the dust has settled from the trade deadline, which teams came out as the biggest winners and losers?

The trade deadline was disappointing to be sure for the #NJDevils . They did, however, still get two very good players in Daniel Sprong and Cody Glass.
I'd like to deep-dive both players the Devils acquired yesterday, starting with Daniel Sprong. Let's get into it:

#NJDevils bottom six C Erik Haula has gone from a quietly very good player (in 2022-23) to a having a very, very rough go if it in 2024-25.
What happened? Let’s talk about the downfall of Erik Haula and what the Devils can do to fix it:

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be deep-diving the #NJDevils systems to hopefully give folks a better understanding of the schemes head coach Sheldon Keefe uses.
First on the docket is their breakout technique. Let’s get into it:
(1/?)
#NJDevils superstar and franchise center Jack Hughes has been deployed on the penalty kill for the first time in his career this season.
He’s absolutely dominated at it, too. Let’s get into why:
(1/?)
The #NJDevils have two clear needs as a team which have been consistent all season: top-six finishers and bottom-six playdriving.
The #SeaKraken , meanwhile, have exactly what they need on both fronts. Let's take a look at who (and why) these teams should hook up over:
(1/?)
The #NJDevils are a good team. With a couple of issues fixed, they can be a great one. Much of the lineup is set and rock-solid, but it's clear they need a T6 scoring winger and B6 playdriving.
Here's what the Devils should do at the trade deadline, and why:
(1/?)
I just don’t know how someone who plays a relatively simple game drops off so sharply. It makes me think injury. I think I just want to root for the guy. He seems nice enough.
I know his xG was historically bad his first 10-20 games. Has it improved with the finishing we’ve been getting from him or is that a shooting bender? Crazy to see that Jack and Bratt are worse with him even defensively. Palat has always been defensively sound I thought
