The New Jersey Devils are a bad hockey team. They are the same team that’s finished at or near the bottom of the Eastern Conference in each of the last several seasons, with one Taylor Hall MVP season as the only outlier. The Devils are not any better than they were last year despite an active summer by general manager Ray Shero.
So, when do we start placing some of the blame on the general manager himself?
Here we are, 29 games into the 2019-20 season and the Devils are 9-15-5 with a minus-35 goal differential.
