Things are not going well for the New Jersey Devils this season. There is no argument there. The Devils have spent more time in the basement of the Eastern Conference than they have in a playoff spot. Any spot. Even for a day. As we head into the hard part of the December schedule (that’s right, we haven’t even hit that yet), it’s time to ask some hard questions about this team’s roster.
Some of the easy questions revolve around the Devils pending free agents. Marcus Johansson looks like a goner if this team doesn’t turn it around, because he’s probably going to give the Devils a better asset than they gave up for him.
