Give credit where credit is due: since taking over as New Jersey Devils general manager in May of 2015, Ray Shero has done an impressive job turning the team around. When Shero assumed the helm, the Devils had spent the last few seasons falling from grace while attempting to replace departed star players with aging veterans removed from their glory days (exception: Jaromir Jagr) in the NHL. Shero would either not renew bad contracts that were expiring or would find a way to remove the player from the team and that has impressively led to New Jersey being younger, faster, and full of potential.
