I agree.

I think that if you look at some of the teams that are poised to make a run in the playoffs, you see how much speed they generate through the neutral zone. Their forecheck, for all intents and purposes, starts at the redline rather than at the blueline as it would more traditionally. As a result, since it has defenses backing off, they create a lot more space for themselves once the puck is in deep.

The more speed they can add around Jagr, Henrique, Zajac, and Elias the better off theyre going to be.

Absolutely need more speed especially around those 4 they are the core of the offense. No clue where it is going to come from but we have to get faster and bigger as well. We don't hit enough and look at our Division all the teams are fast and like to play the body. Team better look different next year otherwise we will just be in for more of the same. Close but no cigar.

Bring in Kadri. Do it Lou.

They need to add more speed around him to improve the offensive production as a whole.

He was far and away the best offensive player they had last year. He out produced everyone.

But, if you look at the other teams in the playoffs, and the way that they create offense, the Devils are way behind.

That's a big reason why they missed the playoffs.

i agree...they definitely need more than just jagr, but i think this was good move #1. next should be locking up schneider long term...then go to free agency saying you have one of the best forwards of all time, one of the top goalies in the league and a young up-and-coming defense all in a relatively new facility...not a bad pitch to free agents.

Kadri is a young natural center. Move Henrique over to LW. Kadri played great under PDB, and PDB did basically cosign Kadri's talent in an article that came out during the whole "PDB to Toronto" rumor.
