How the New Jersey Devils Are Better Run than the New York Yankees

The Devils Talent

On the other hand, the Devils have an excellent core that could compete for the next decade. The Devils have guys like Jack Hughes, who is now becoming one of the best players in the league, scoring a franchise-record 99 points this past season.

The Devils also have talents like Jesper Bratt and Nico Hischier helping the offense. Add guys like Timo Meier and newly-acquired winger Tyler Tofolli to the mix, and this offense is steeped in talent. Supporting guys like Michael McLeod, Nathan Bastian, and Ondrej Palat also helps.

Rookies like Luke Hughes and Simon Nemec add to the team’s quality defenseman core. The only issue the team has is goaltending. While Vitek Vanacek looked good in the regular season, he got hung out to dry come playoff time. When Akira Scmid came in, he was a crucial piece in the Devils beating the Rangers in the playoffs. In the Hurricanes series, though, he was also hung out to dry like Vitek. Despite that, however, the Devils have a lot of good talent on their roster. Some of it is because of drafting, and some because of free agency. This kind of team is a team that people would love to come to watch and enjoy.
