During the many, many losses and poor performances by the 2018-19 New Jersey Devils, I have had many complaints like any other Devils fan who is paying attention. Some are undebatable: the goaltending, mainly. Others have been somewhat more contentious. I have been increasingly critical of the coaching staff in light of John Hynes receiving a contract extension back on January 3. This usually gets a response about how the roster is so bad so how can anyone fault the coaches.
I am sympathetic to the idea that the roster needs more talent. I agree.
