New Jersey Devils Guide To The IIHF World Championships

The New Jersey Devils have most of their best players going to the World Championships, as well as a few potential draft selections.

It is fair to say that it is good to be a fan of the New Jersey Devils fan right now. It might not be easy to say if you just base it off of how the 2018-19 season went. They were last in the Metropolitan Division and third to last in the entire National Hockey League. Unlike most of the teams they were around in the basement of the NHL, the Devils have a few fair reasons why.

Taylor Hall is still the reigning Hart Trophy winner as the NHL’s most valuable player, and he didn’t play a single minute in the second half of the season. They didn’t get great goaltending until it was too late. None of that matters anymore because of where they are going.

The Devils even have their head coach going to this to IIHF World Championships. He will be an assistant for the United States. This is a chance for Hynes to pick up things from other coaches/players and get to know some new coaching techniques.

The fact that so many people associated with the Devils organization are going to this tournament tells a lot about where this team is and where they could be if they keep it up. You get invited to these things if you are worthy of representing your country.

They have the first-overall pick in the NHL Draft after winning the lottery in April. The player they will choose, on top of a bunch of their good young players, will compete in the IIHF World Championships Tournament. This group of New Jersey Devils players spans over different hockey countries looking to win. These are all of the countries the Devils and their fans will need to keep an eye on throughout the tournament.
