The New Jersey Devils have had an awful season up to this point. There have been some good moments, but based on their expectations, the Devils have fallen well below expectations. One player that we thought would be a part of this team before training camp started was Ty Smith. He didn’t make the team out of camp and that is probably a good thing now in hindsight.
If Ty Smith came to this team and was a part of the struggle, there would have been plenty of people saying he doesn’t belong or that he is a bust despite the fact that he would have just been a young defenseman trying to find his way.
