Forget their 4-10-2 record, the Devils might want to start thinking about next year, because simply put as much as I want to see them turn things around, I cannot see it happening if they continue to play like this. It will be very tough for them after a loss to the lowly Sabres tonight and their Defense is breaking down again and again. Tallinder continues to struggle.
So, it seems to be the Devils will be a target by 29 NHL teams this season, but hopefully during the summer they can retool and get a reality check. This is not a panic post, but simply put this team has no structure and no system that could win them games. Ilya Kovalchuk can only do so much, but he is invisible out there, so for now it might be best for them not to make the playoffs and get a lottery draft pick.
Like I have mentioned in my Can/Will Devils turn season around post, it might not be bad for them to miss the playoffs and that means they can develop their youth more. They need help on defense ASAP.
