With the release of Dainius Zubrus, the New Jersey Devils are only intensifying the youth movement that has gripped this team since season's end. To Ray Shero, John Hynes and company, getting younger and letting the younger players get experience playing this season is the best course of action. It could be that they believe the youth on this team is also the best talent, and/or they want these skaters to get experience for the years to come.
Regardless, given that the Devils will be rolling out a team with some inexperience at the NHL level, it would be wonderful if the team has a soft start to the schedule this year.
