It’s been an awful season for just about every on the New Jersey Devils this season. The star player has been injured with an unknown ailment for months. The top defensemen is out with a concussion and may not return this season if it’s bad enough. This team’s goaltending situation is as bad as any team’s in the league. The depth players that helped them make the playoffs last season are nowhere to be found, or injured this year. It’s been bad.
It may not be fair, but we evaluate upcoming free agents for how they’ve played in the season most prior, and that is bad news for the Devils players coming into free agency.
