The New Jersey Devils learn their lottery fate this week. This could be the best week of the season, or one of the worst. If the Devils choose 1st or 2nd, it changes their franchise for at least a decade. They get a player that will make them an instant must-see team.
However, if they fall, this fanbase may implode into itself. After a season’s worth of pain, this would only add alcohol to the wound.
Do not fret. I am here to tell you that even if the Devils fall all the way to five or six, they are going to get a very, very good prospect.
