The New Jersey Devils have changed up the defensive pairings pretty much every year. They’ve undergone changes on the defense every season. They went into the 2017-18 with Andy Greene as the top defenseman, with Damon Severson and Will Butcher as top options. They traded for Sami Vatanen in the first few months to give themselves another top guy. The next season, Severson really took that top spot. Then, they traded for P.K. Subban in 2019. He didn’t work, so they added a veteran Dmitri Kulikov and a rookie Ty Smith to bring hope to the blue line.
