It’s not secret to anyone who’s played fantasy hockey over the last seven-ish years that the New Jersey Devils are not a team filled with fantasy juggernauts and sleepers. The team’s always been known for somewhat of a conservative style (though complaints about the trap long exceeded the team actually using it, but that’s a story for another day), and have had few breakout players offensively. But with John Hynes pushing a more up-tempo system and the Devils bringing in more offensive talent, i.e. Taylor Hall, is this the year that changes?
The Forwards
Before Brent Sutter went crazy in 2008-09 and started playing John Madden, Jay Pandolfo and Brendan Shanahan upwards of 20 minutes a game, the Devils were an offensive dynamo.
