While I do genuinely believe the #NJDevils can make some noise in this postseason, in my opinion, the character of their team will really be defined this offseason.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at a way, way-too-early ideal Devils’ offseason:

The trade deadline was disappointing to be sure for the #NJDevils . They did, however, still get two very good players in Daniel Sprong and Cody Glass.
I'd like to deep-dive both players the Devils acquired yesterday, starting with Daniel Sprong. Let's get into it:

With Jack Hughes presumably out for a while, I want to touch on two things: team building and the trade deadline.
1) This wouldn’t be as big an issue if the team didn’t prioritize grit over skill/scoring, and 2) this shouldn’t alter the #NJDevils TDL plans. Let’s get it:

I went through the pain of logging all the data for each and every #NJDevils prospect 25 years old and younger.
According to NHLe -- NHL equivalency -- these are the three prospects performing the best in their respective leagues:

Great take on Luke
Luke Hughes is playing Norris-level 5v5 hockey this season for the #NJDevils on both ends of the ice, and it's about time he got some recognition for it.
He's fought it a bit of late, but let's jump into what has made him so great as a whole so far in 2024-25:

The #NJDevils called up Seamus Casey (likely for practice reasons) yesterday. He's already garnered NHL time this season, but looked a bit out of place and likely needed more time to marinate.
With that in mind, let's deep-dive his toolkit and talk about his future:

The #NJDevils have two clear needs as a team which have been consistent all season: top-six finishers and bottom-six playdriving.
The #SeaKraken , meanwhile, have exactly what they need on both fronts. Let's take a look at who (and why) these teams should hook up over:

The #NJDevils have had the NHL's second-best goaltending this season, with a combined goals saved above expected (GSAx) of +28.5.

The #NJDevils are a good team. With a couple of issues fixed, they can be a great one. Much of the lineup is set and rock-solid, but it's clear they need a T6 scoring winger and B6 playdriving.

#NJDevils bottom-sixer Paul Cotter is such an intriguing player to me.
He is extremely athletic and has high-level raw tools.
Conversely, his heliocentrism and hockey sense bring those tools crashing back down to Earth.
Let's get into it.
