It's been 3 games...

They have one of the worst D cores in the league and their offense doesn't come close to making up for it. They'll be bottom 10 in the league come seasons end.

I don't think they're contenders by any means, but the influx of youth and speed bodes well for the future, even if there are some growing pains this year. That's more than I'm confident saying about my own team, which remains saddled with bad contracts and relies too heavily on a declining Zetterberg.

Solid team. These young fast teams are fun to watch. Great goalie too.

Uh so far they've scored 15 goals in about 165 mins. Not saying they'll keep that up but their offense isn't what it used to be.

And 3rd line tweeners like Bratt and Zacha will not continue this kinda pace. It’s called the league getting adjusted to their pace of play. It’s not a sprint...

They're looking really good tonight. If the offense keeps clicking and Schnieder keeps being Schneider they could surprise a bunch of people this year.

Lmao third line tweeners Bratt and Zacha. Zacha is no doubt about it a top 6 center. He is mightily improved from last year and it seems like he will probably end with 45 points-ish. And how are you saying Zacha'a pace is unsustainable. He literally has one goal in three games. Bratt probably won't keep up his pace but if you have seen him play you could tell how good this kid is.

You know Hall, Palmieri, and Johansson have barely scored this year, right? Those would be most people's choice for our best forwards before the season. Obviously we aren't going to score 5 goals a game all year, but this isn't the same doormat team that we had last year.

Do you even watch the Devils games? Zacha has been pretty bad so far this season. Bratt won't continue his pace, but he's been beastly regardless. And Hischier will only improve as the season goes on. The biggest expected regression from the Devils could be Cory. Can't expect him to play lights out all year.

Bratt is legit great and McLeod will make their offense even stronger when he comes back.

Are we talking about peoples theories on the 2016 Leafs or the 2017 Devils now?

So sad the Metro was already tough enough...the Devils need to slow down!

Legit great really? Based on a 3 game sample size? I mean you can say he’s got potentiel to be great maybe but once the players get adjusted we will see how Bratt adjust to tighter checking games

Young fast team that's playing with awesome tempo. Normally that doesn't mean all that much but it seems they have the talent now to really push some teams. Gotta compliment Shero, team has a nice mix of acquired and home grown talent. Dunno if that blue line will be consistent enough to get them to the playoffs. If Schneider is a top 5 goalie this year I could see it happening.

Players already in the NHL have to get used to rookies? Usually it’s the other way around. Learn something new every day.

He has alot of poise with the puck , great stick defensively he looks like the real deal.
