All New Jersey Devils fans know that General Manager, Ray Shero values youth and potential at the forward position. It’s a great concept, but like most things in life the results are mixed. In the case of Kyle Palmieri, it worked out big time.
The jury is still out with Beau Bennett given his limited production last year. Hopefully the jury has spoken with players like Devante Smith-Pelley, whose four goals and penchant for landing on the disabled list last year didn’t cut the mustard. Hopefully he will move from the “under the radar” category into “off the roster” this summer.
