The New Jersey Devils will have a new roster from top to bottom in 2015-16. Losses like Jaromir Jagr, Steve Bernier, Scott Gomez, Dainius Zubrus, Marty Havlat, and Michael Ryder will all need replacements. I have already started to account for this by looking at new Devils forwards like Sergei Kalinin and Jim O’Brien, but now I want to examine the top of the Devils’ lineup, namely the first line of forwards. While many have written this line off as a given, starring Mike Cammalleri, Travis Zajac, and Kyle Palmieri, the reality is that the competition is fierce and the chemistry thus far has been unclear.
