The rebuild for the New Jersey Devils has felt like a long, tumultuous and now seemingly never-ending story arc.

The Devils decided to build through the draft, utilize cap space and draft capital to take advantage of salary cap teams through shrewd trades and the complimentary free agent to help bridge the gap until they were truly ready to contend.
