Health, keeping Glass, and adding another two forwards, one a center, and I think this team will be very dangerous next year.

The forward depth and the injuries have hurt their chances to do damage in the playoffs. The depth is fixable.

Maybe Gritz can be one of those wingers.

They have the D, which i think only gets better as the young guys mature, and we have goalies now.
 
Have to give the team some credit. Would have been easy to fold with all the people missing. They're fighting like hell.

I don't think the team as situated is very good, and they certainly have had some meltdowns, but they are fighting. They're going to make sure the team gets to the playoffs even if it's not always pretty
 


So I'm a big Dillon supporter. He's clearly a great locker room guy and I think he gets a bit of a bad rap in a lot of ways. But hear me out. Do you consider Dumoulin over Dillon next year with Siegs and Luke occupying the other spots?

I'm sure the answer is no. But I like Dumoulin a lot, and am kind of bummed that he will likely be elsewhere next year.


Dumoulin will probably go back to Anaheim, they’ve told him they want to re-sign him.
 
Dumoulin hasn't killed penalties in a long time... Dillon is our #1....it looks like we are choosing Luke over him on the PK now.

I don't think it works we need the PKer

Dumoulin played on the PK for almost a minute tonight, Luke had to help kill his penalty.

He played on the PK in Anaheim, for what it’s worth (which is not much lol).

We aren’t trading Dillon though, he still has a full NTC next season.

I actually think this team is jelling, is finding some synergy and a new identity here at the end - a physical style of play and more of a forecheck and crash the net style than they have had this year. A kind of we are all equal team style of play - I like dropping Palat and Tatar to the 4th line. Finally some depth. With this goaltending I will not be surprised if they make a run in the playoffs. It’s in effect a different team without Jack Hughes. Luke is suddenly dialing it up too.

This maybe feels like the Devils going into that 2013 (was that the year?) end of season when they ran to the finals?

Are we going on a hot streak now at just the right time? Next Saturday against the Rangers will tell us a lot.

Anything can happen in Jersey.
 
Do you think the Devils improved, or do you think Minnesota struggled?
 
Don't know if it got shared earlier, but props to Bratt for this. Hynes certainly deserves credit for giving Bratt his opportunity when he did.


that’s awesome. hynes was put in a position to fail here, like literally everyone else in the organization who was trying to correct the mess grandpa joe left us in. nice to see him get some recognition.
