Sports are funny. Not in a “haha” kind of way, but more like an ironic “how does that even happen” sort of way. Teams spend months analyzing players prior to the draft, just for the team in front of them to take that player. They pour money and time into some players that end up getting a major injury and never hitting the ice. There are players who fans run to buy their jersey, then they immediately sign with another team. The New Jersey Devils have been on the wrong end of some of these “funny” scenarios, but it’s happening a lot less than it used to.
