In the latest of what seems like never-ending reports on how the NHL might return after the Covid-19 pandemic, Pierre LeBrun with The Athletic reports that the NHL is not only looking at how to return to finish this season, but they are looking ahead at next season. That would mean the NHL starts next season in December. For most teams, it gives them the crucial time it takes to recover from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. For the New Jersey Devils, this just means more time where they are in flux.
The Devils currently need a head coach, general manager, captain and more than likely a star player and another defenseman.
