Devils
I didn't watch enough games this year to make a qualified thorough post-mortem, but I'll say this much:
The pundits are almost always wrong about the Devils and what they need to do, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Marty needs to quit playing so many regular season games. Period.
And I'll just add that the d-corps is nothing compared to the teams that won cups. Back in 2000, GM Lamoriello said that he traded to get Claude Lemieux back because the Devils had too many of the same kind of player. That is true again now.
The Devils are probably as deep in forward scoring now as they've ever been, except maybe 2000-01, but as thin on D as they have been since 1991. Lou says he is trying to sign Ilya Kovalchuk. Fine, but how about getting a defenseman of that caliber?
