The rebuild of the New Jersey Devils continued on Wednesday as GM Ray Shero announced the hiring of two new Assistant Coaches. While Alain Nasreddine‘s hiring came as no surprise due to his prior longstanding relationship with Head Coach John Hynes, the second assistant surprised many. Former Boston Bruins Assistant Coach Geoff Ward was named an Assistant Coach along with Nasreddine. The move means that Scott Stevens will not be back with the New Jersey Devils next season at least in a coaching capacity.

I’m actually very happy with the hiring of Alain Nasreddine as it should ease the transition from the AHL to the NHL for Hynes this season.
