Just want to see some opinions. As a devils fan, I’m really optimistic about the teams future and want to see how others think we line up with our rivals say 3-5 years from now.
haha, also looking forward to some more responses, definitely can get interesting. both teams definitely looking towards some competitive hockey very soon.I really like the moves that the Devils have made this off-season & think they have pulled themselves closer to the Rangers (who have done a great job rebuilding their team).
As a fan of the Game I’m really happy to see each of them getting competitive again. They both have fun, very active Boards here so I’m looking forward to seeing them square off as well.

ps. Thank you for the Thread @Zacha37
As a NYR fan, I wholeheartedly agree with this and expect the Rangers to finish only ahead of Philly next season. Devils improved. Penguins won’t suddenly suck. Isles and Caps are still solid. Rangers got tough without addressing their glaring weakness in LD (Nemeth? Seriously?) and soon to be weak C.Up until a few weeks ago I might've said Rangers, but seeing Drury in action as GM has me feeling pretty good about NJ's chances.
Having a top defenseman to match up against Fox was a glaring hole for NJ which they've seemingly solved with Hamilton. Having Luke Hughes in the mix also helps a ton. Rangers still need to find a long-term solution for their issues at center. I give NJ a slight advantage.
Rangers AINEC. Screencap this and come back in 5 years I'll be right.
Devils...Defense? Ranger's blow them out of the water with their future on Defense.Who are the players that will lead each team’s future?
Centre? Jersey might be better
D? Jersey
Goal? Rangers
Wing? Rangers
Funny how the Rangers have the 2 best centers between the two teams. Yeah NJs centers are young and were drafted high but you can’t just assume they will become so great that they tip the scales so drastically. Esp considering the Rangers are better at every other position.Unfortunately I gotta say the Devils. The young talent on both sides makes it close but tie breaker is the team with the huge potential at center.
idk about that. luke hughes, ty smith, mukhamadullin, graves, walsh, and a few more names is a very strong crop of young defensemen with hamilton also in the fold.Devils...Defense? Ranger's blow them out of the water with their future on Defense.
give it a year or two and hischier/hughes will both pass strome by a fairly large margin. both, especially hughes, have real star potential.Funny how the Rangers have the 2 best centers between the two teams.

young talent on both sides is close? The Rangers have a 23 year old player who just won the freaking Norris. The Devils have a bunch of what if’s.

Id say Nico is already ahead of Stromegive it a year or two and hischier/hughes will both pass strome by a fairly large margin. both, especially hughes, have real star potential.
NYR fairly clearly to me.
