New Jersey Devils defenseman Kevin Bahl (88): (Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports)
Last season, the New Jersey Devils defense was awful. Listen, there were some positive things to come from the blueline. P.K. Subban was much better than he was the season prior even if he still wasn’t the player the Devils hoped they got at the 2019 NHL Draft. Ty Smith exceeded all expectations. Damon Severson was really good when he was really good. Unfortunately, that didn’t last.
The other major positive for the Devils fanbase was when Kevin Bahl joined the defense.
