New Jersey Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald: (Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports)
As New Jersey Devils fans, we have been trusting the process that has only seen one measly playoff win since Joshua Harris and David Blitzer took over ownership of the Devils. It has been a longer than expected grueling rebuild. But ownership finally got it right by committing long term to Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald.
It was fool’s gold when the Devils clinched a playoff berth in 2018 as Taylor Hall won the Hart Trophy. It gave fans a false sense of progress.
