A conversation with Sheldon Keefe:
Spoke with #NJDevils Sheldon Keefe Wednesday and asked him why NJ retained every assistant coach this summer — which Keefe said was completely his decision.
Also asked him specifically why he decided to retain goalie coach Dave Rogalski.

“Nico Hischier and Jonas Siegenthaler can now say, among their many accolades, that they have played in the highest hockey game in the world. On Aug. 5th, the two Swiss Devils took a helicopter to the top of Jungfraujoch, which is the highest accessible point in Europe at 3,454 meters high between Bern and Valais in Switzerland. Valais, is Hischier’s home region in Switzerland, while he also lived in Bern before playing in North America.” [Devils NHL]

“…Even though Palát is not a $6 million player, he is still quite good. Sure, the scoring hasn’t been there. But at least in 2023-24, that was partially bad luck. The Devils don’t need him to be the Palát he was in Tampa, but they do need more offense from him. And there is reason to be encouraged that he might have more to offer.” [Devils on the Rush]
