Maybe it’s just me, but the six established veterans under contract (Andy Greene, Ben Lovejoy, John Moore, Jon Merrill, Damon Severson, I’m also choosing to include Yohann Auvitu in the list) don’t give me that good ol’ warm-and-fuzzy feeling that the New Jersey Devils‘ blue line corps is strongly positioned for the upcoming campaign.

Right off the bat, I don’t have complete faith all six are truly NHL quality players. Especially Merrill and Auvitu. Maybe five of the six, but not all six. That’s concern number one.
Concern number two is the quality of the current top six.
