New Jersey Devils Are Making Massive Lineup Changes For Their Second Preseason Matchup (Ft. Jersey Joe)

The draft lottery is almost here, and we are finally going to see whether or not the New Jersey Devils get the first overall selection or not. From recent reports, I heard that they have about a 20% chance to do so, however I think everybody wants the organization to draft Luke Hughes, younger brother of Quinn and Jack, if we aren't awarded the #1 pick. Luke can provide the overall package to our team whether it be defense, scoring, or passing he can do it all potentially. This episode will provide a player profile for the Michigan native.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Pucks and Pitchforks (Fansided) posted an article that talked about certain narratives that people would potentially be discussing this offseason involving New Jersey. I side with Pucks and Pitchforks in this regard, because the claims and statements are flat out blasphemous. Today's episode will involve me coming to the aid of Blackwood and Hischier and breaking down why both of them are great in their respective roles.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

I recently saw a news article that caught my eye in terms of the New Jersey Devils' potential offseason for 2022. I found it compelling because there's going to be a good sum of money on the table, and four of our key pieces will be restricted free agents as well. So, it raises the question what do we do in that situation? Well, the simple answer is that it is too early to tell, however it will still be interesting to look at. Especially with this offseason fast approaching.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

My colleague Dan Rice of The Hockey Writers brought up an interesting question on Twitter in regards to the Devils roster structure. In a hypothetical scenario, if our team is bound to be first round exits frequently in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, similar to the Oilers and Capitals, would we as fans be satisfied? Well, a question like that needs a bit more context in order for me to deliver a clear cut answer. Also, The Great One that is Wayne Gretzky resigned from his Edmonton Oilers front office position. I wonder if it is a sign for bad things to come to McDavid and the organization?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

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.
