The New Jersey Devils lacked the scoring depth that the best teams in the league had last season. A mixture of new players and the development of young players can take them to that level.
The New Jersey Devils addressed their biggest need this offseason, acquiring a top tier offensive player in Taylor Hall. In order to improve their offense to a standard high enough to make the playoffs, they also needed to improve their forward depth.
The Devils were certainly lacking in that department last season, as they only had five forwards who racked up at least 20 points on the season.
