There are times on this blog where I write things where I know that some backlash is coming. This, my friends, is one of those articles. I wanted to look at whether the New Jersey Devils should go into next season with Travis Zajac as the team’s second-line center.
Last season, Zajac was expected to start the season between Taylor Hall and Kyle Palmieri on the first line. He wasn’t the traditional first-line center, but he was effective in his own way. He won’t scored 90 points, or even hit 20 goals anymore, but he plays very good defense and can still hit the set-up pass.
