Everyone is saying the Devils are taking a step back. I don't see how a team that had all of those rookies including a number 1 pick goes backwards. Because they didn't sign any veteran throw away free agents? hmmmm

There are definitely question marks. They started strong and fizzled out as the season sent on. I think they overachieved, but will still battle for a playoff spot.

I think plenty of teams have question marks and the metro can really go a lot of ways.

I would say the Devils overachieved on their rebuild curve last year rather than say they will take a step back this year.

Flyers bring in Carter Hart after the All-Star Game and things get very interesting.

I was not a big fan of the JJ signing, but after seeing his preseason I think the Pens defense will be better than most think.
