With last season now in the rear-view mirror, New Jersey Devils fans are anxiously waiting for their team’s 2019-20 campaign to begin, especially in the wake of a transformative summer—that’s still not yet over—orchestrated by GM Ray Shero. While the new-look Devils have been a hot conversation topic and now have higher expectations next season, they’re still hearing echoes of their abysmal 2018-19 season.
One such is the impending fate of left wing Taylor Hall, who New Jersey Devils fans are anxiously awaiting for a signal on the franchise forward’s future. The aspect of Taylor Hall potentially leaving for nothing next summer rekindles painful memories of when core players like Zach Parise, Scott Gomez, Brian Rafalski and Scott Niedermayer all left in that exact manner.
