Beyond the Top Line

I’ve spoken about this a bit previously, but I think it’s worth referencing again with our New Jersey Devils in the midst of a second large losing streak this season. There was optimism heading into this season for improved forward depth; the acquisition of Taylor Hall gave the team three legitimate scoring threats (along with Adam Henrique and Kyle Palmieri), and it pushed Michael Cammalleri down in the lineup, which was predicted to provide more scoring. Bringing in Beau Bennett, PA Parenteau (via a waiver claim), Vernon Fiddler combined with a full season of Pavel Zacha had Jersey looking much better than they did in 2015-16.
