NEWARK, N.J. – When Joshua Harris was announced as co-owner and chairman of the New Jersey Devils in August 2013, he was adamant about being in it to win it.
The past two seasons, the Devils have failed to meet his expectations. In addition to not qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs the past three seasons, New Jersey has reached the postseason once in the past five and have finished no higher than fourth in its division during that span.
Harris, a self-proclaimed impatient individual driven to succeed in whatever he does, is confident that the recent addition of Ray Shero as general manager is the first step in rectifying the current state of the franchise.
