Ray Shero will have a lot to do in this offseason. The New Jersey Devils will be done playing games in this season after April 9, 2016. The team's work doesn't end as Shero has to really consider new contracts for players, who to keep and let loose, get an understanding about the NHL Draft that will happen in June, and dealing with other general managers about any potential deals. While a lot of the actual action will happen around the draft and free agency on July 1, a lot of preparatory work takes place well before then - if not during the season itself.
