How are we feeling #NJDevils fans?
The New Jersey Devils are a team built around offense. Their top stars including the Hughes brothers, Simon Nemec, and Nico Hischier thrive in the offensive zone. Sheldon Keefe will bring a system that maximizes those talents. His energetic and collaborative style will also likely fit in well with the Devils core.
As the Devils head into the offseason it will be fun to see what kind of moves they make to bring in players that fit under their new head coach in Sheldon Keefe.
