The start of the 2016-17 NHL season is still about 2 and 1/2 months away, but the offseason moves made by the New Jersey Devils are reason enough to be anxious and impatiently awaiting the return of hockey season. As we draw closer to training camp, we will see Coach John Hynes put units together for preseason games and while those lines are not always an indication of what will happen during the season, there’s a good chance that some of those combinations stick.
Again, we don’t really know what will happen with forward trios and defense pairs yet and we won’t for quite some time, but it’s fun to think about would could be, especially in the summer when teams news is at a low point.
