Here are the bullet points of the Devils current status headed into the offseason, and, particularly, free agency.
- Ray Shero and John Hynes are entering the 5th year of their rebuild. In the 4 years they’ve been here, the Devils have won just 141 of 328 games— the 6th worst in the NHL in that span.
- The Devils made the playoffs unexpectedly last year due to, among other things, an MVP season from Taylor Hall (who’s entering the final year of his contract), but regressed to 3rd worst in the NHL this year.
