Ray Shero deserves a lot of credit for the Devils’ roster overhaul. In fact, he deserves all the credit. His body of work so far is impressive, and he’s been very busy revitalizing a team that hasn’t made the playoffs in four straight years.
It’s still very early in Shero’s Devils career, and general managers shouldn’t be judged on just one or two seasons. We haven’t even dropped the puck on his second year, and Taylor Hall hasn’t played a shift in a Devils uniform yet. So, I’m not jumping to conclusions here and saying the Devils are going to win the Stanley Cup this year, next year or the year after that.
