Analyzing Adam Henrique's Season: Wrist Injury Justifies Second-Half Struggles

Adam Henrique is under immense pressure in New Jersey. It may not be fair to the 25-year-old forward from Ontario, but there can be no doubt that given the lack of talent and youth in the New Jersey Devils' forward ranks, Henrique shoulders a sizable burden.

During the 2014-15 season, he was the only forward 25 years of age or younger to make consistent offensive contributions for the Devils, which obviously says more about the state of the team than about Henrique, but it makes his importance to the team undeniable.

With a free-agent class short on young, talented forwards this offseason, it may well be the case that Henrique is still the youngest offensive-minded forward in New Jersey by the time the 2015-16 season starts.
