The New Jersey Devils were forced to play 25 different forwards last season due to injuries and ineffectiveness. The final spot on their opening night roster ended up going to John Quenneville, but he never really worked out, despite some early chemistry with Miles Wood and Travis Zajac. Now, he’s in Chicago. However, this season we don’t expect anywhere near those opportunities.
After the acquisition of Nikita Gusev, the Devils are likely down to one spot still available. Just look at the lines as their currently constructed.
That last right wing spot could go a number of ways.
