In the midst of another postseason-free campaign, Devils are a team still searching for a light at the end of the tunnel of their rebuild. After a 2015-16 season that exceeded expectations, feelings were mostly positive in New Jersey and confidence in the new regime of Ray Shero and John Hynes was relatively high. With the 2016-17 season now nearing its end, a lot of those positive vibes have soured a bit with the team treading water (at best) compared to a year ago and questions on whether this team is headed in the right direction are starting to swirl among the fanbase.
