The New Jersey Devils defense looks bad now, but in a few years, even without any moves, it could look very, very good. Ty Smith will be on the team next season. Reilly Walsh looks like he could be a really good player in the future. Jeremy Davies came out of nowhere to give them another option. Will Butcher and Damon Severson are still just 24 years old. In five years, The Devils could make no moves for any defensemen and still look like this on the back end:
Smith (24 years old)-Severson (29)
Butcher (29)-Walsh (25)
Davies (27)-Connor Carrick (30)/Jeremy Groleau (24)
Andy Greene (41) Kidding.
