Me neither. I think the Wings were near the bottom of my most-watched list. |

I average 70+ games of theirs a year. This year it was less than 10. |

No one on the Devils blog has any sympathy for Detroit. I still get PTSD flashbacks from watching 70+ games of the 14-15 team that featured Steve Bernier on the top pp, Stoatesariello, and Adam Henrique leading the team in scoring with 43 points. The Devils would have Connor McDavid right now if Schneider didn't put up a .925 sv% that season. |

Eichel sure looks like a star player to me. His ppg is fantastic, and he can battle in the corners with the best of them. Just needs to quit spraining his ankles and play a healthy 82 games to prove he is worth the big $$$ |

The Devils are a really weird case. Their offense was respectable, as I thought it'd be. The defense certainly had its share of issues. Cory Schneider had the worst year of his career. And yet the Devils drastically out-performed expectations. Taylor Hall playing at a MVP level was a big factor, no doubt, but I'm still not entirely sure how the Devils were as good as they were. I was way off on them.
-Todd Cordell
This is why the Devils need to keep adding quality pieces. They certainly seemed to over performed almost all season. Vegas is another team that is clearly greater then the sum of their parts. Eventually you expect things to even out a bit. So just because we snuck into the playoffs this year I sure wouldn't bank on it next year.
I'm guessing Schneider bounces back but I don't think you can expect more from anyone else. The kids (like Nico and Zacha) should tick up but I wouldn't expect much more from them. Shero needs to add some legit guys like Maroon and not done players like Stafford and Hayes. |

Signed a KHL guy last week. Was good enough to crack the Russian men's lineup for the gold medal, but realistically he will be a fringe NHL/AHL player. Otherwise I have low expectations for the D prospects in our system. Trades and Free agency are the brightest avenues at the moment. |

Nothing too spectacular. Steven Santini is probably the best they have but was sent down midway during the season. Then you have Kapla a college free agent signing and really not much else of note as far as guys ready to step in. |

Serious question...
Why is Barry Melrose still employed and on TV?
Horrible player, horrible coach and a horrible,horribly biased and ignorant commentator. |

Many of the national broadcasters (except for Doc) are biased. Its sad but they are just drinking the cool-aid that the NHL made them. I watched most of the Caps/Pens and Caps/TB series and they seem to always be against the Caps. |
