“The New Jersey Devils have a clear group of four elite forwards – Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, Jesper Bratt, and Timo Meier – who will all fit within the top two lines in some way. The questions around the lineup begin to come when considering the two open spots and who will be given the honor of playing among these four players. There are plenty of possible combinations that Sheldon Keefe can deploy once the new season gets underway.” [Infernal Access ($)]
“The New Jersey Devils roster is mostly complete at this point, but one area where they could strengthen is their middle six/third line. PTOs rarely turn into Petr Sykora in 2011-12 when he posted 20-plus goals and 40-plus points. But perhaps there’s someone available who strengthens the team’s forward depth. Here are five PTO candidates the Devils should consider.” [Devils on the Rush]
