This season has been a rather different one for the New Jersey Devils, at least as compared to the last several. The team is offensively driven, with lots of attempts both for and against. This has many positive and negative repercussions, as we have continually showcased on this site and will continue to delve into as the season progresses.
One interesting side effect of this change in the way the Devils play has been the effect on fantasy hockey. Over the last four-five seasons, New Jersey has largely been a fantasy graveyard for skating talent. Last year aside, Cory Schneider has been a solid fantasy play, but there has been little in terms of fantasy talent amongst the forwards and defensemen.
