Training camp for the New Jersey Devils and 30 other NHL teams that are not the New Jersey Devils will begin this week. The preseason will begin for the Devils next Monday on September 17 with a pair of games. With the regular starting in less than a month, this is a short time for players to get prepared and convince the coaches of what they can do. This is also a short time for the coaching staff and management to identify who should play where. One of the factors that may help guide their decision making is their waiver status.
