From the beginning of the season, it has been clear that Ray Shero and John Hynes have wanted to give former first round pick Jacob Josefson a good chance and a strong look at maintaining a top 9 position with the New Jersey Devils. Josefson has not had similar line mates throughout the season, his most common partners being Jordin Tootoo and Brian O'Neill, but throughout the 44 games that he has played in NJ, he has mostly been given top 9 duties with players of a similar caliber. Most recently, he has been used as the third line pivot along with Tyler Kennedy and Reid Boucher, but expect that line to continue to be fluid as players rotate in the bottom 6.
An Improved Josefson Would Be Huge for This Team
