The New Jersey Devils made most fans happy when they finally made a coaching change after two absolutely pathetic performances against the Buffalo Sabres and New York Rangers. A lot of fans were skeptical of the man they were now putting in charge. Alain Nasreddine was Hynes’ assistant coach, and someone who has been in charge of the defense, by far the Devils weakest unit.
That doesn’t mean anything really when it comes to being a head coach candidate. That’s why Ray Shero gave him the keys to the castle, at least for now.
Now, the question is, how does he keep the keys?
