This offseason, the New Jersey Devils will be looking to improve on whatever momentum they gained this season. One potential positive has been Devante Smith-Pelly, who has been an improvement over Stefan Matteau. What should Ray Shero pay him?
I think most New Jersey Devils fans would agree that one of the better in-season moves that Ray Shero made was trading former first rounder and fringe NHLer Stefan Matteau for 23 year old Devante Smith-Pelly, who has played games in the NHL almost since he was drafted, and has played consistently at the NHL level over the past two seasons.
