Should Devils Fans Be Concerned?; What Changes Need to be Made Defensively?; Is It Time to Fire Lindy Ruff?

After getting swept in the playoffs, it'll be compelling to see if Connor McDavid remains with the Oilers organization. However, for teams, including the Devils, waiting in line to make their pitch, I wouldn't quite hold your breath. Because McDavid has an expensive contract, and it's going to take a lot of factors to have the Oilers willing to pull the trigger on one.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

I know what you're thinking and my confident answer is no way! However, since it's the offseason we might as well entertain the thought of Ovechkin possibly leaving Washington, given his playoff history. Also, could Tom Fitzgerald make a decent enough sales pitch towards Ovechkin's camp? I don't know maybe, but not likely.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Devils' captain situation is going to be very interesting in my opinion. Because with Hischier pretty much a lock for the head captain role, it does raise a compelling argument as to who will fill out the final assistant captain spots. From Jack Hughes to Miles Wood to PK Subban, the Devils are not short of options. But obviously, each player has something different to offer, and some do in fact have a leg up in some regards.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

The Devils are already making moves in their front office, however this move is a compelling one. Because they named a former Team USA Olympian captain to be their new manager of player operations. Her name is Megan Duggan and she has a stacked history in terms of hockey and her off the rink impacts. It raises the interesting question as to what the Devils are trying to do specifically in terms of this hire, and I am all for it personally.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

PK Subban only has one year left on his lucrative contract, however the Devils might be able to get rid of him quicker than that. Because Seattle might be our only hope to snag him with their expansion draft, but that's a huge question mark. Also, let's talk more about the improvements he has made, or lack thereof. Subban's situation is definitely compelling to talk about.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

Nico Hischier's year has indeed been well...an injury riddled one to say the least. However, in his exit meeting he provided some great insight on what he potentially sees from his Devils team. As the young head captain of this team, he certainly has a lot of work to do not only for himself but the other guys around him. I admire his leadership style as a young player.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

The Devils are trying to fix their goaltending issue...for the possible future by signing Swiss goaltender, Akira Schmid to a three year entry level deal. He had a great year this past season for the Sioux City Musketeers (USHL), and he also played for the Omaha Lancers. I like this signing and I believe he will be a great add for our AHL program, and possibly our NHL team. Also, remember the New York Devils (Islanders) are currently competing in the playoffs and Kyle Palmieri had a great game. It's nice to see our former players like Palmieri, Travis Zajac, Andy Greene, Cory Schneider (All Islanders players), and Blake Coleman (Lightning) compete in the playoffs for a championship.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

This full length episode will be dedicated to Jack Hughes, as I rate his sophomore year campaign. Even though there's room for improvement, he should be proud of his production. He makes the players around him better, and his stats have taken a huge leap forward. Also, I have heard a lot of ramblings as to whether the Devils will draft Jack's little brother, Luke.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.
