There have not been any Devils-leaving-New Jersey rumors in a while, but it’s hard to imagine they won’t come back around at some point. And understandably so.
They are, as The Post’s Larry Brooks recently put it, the least-relevant major sports franchise in North America.
The Devils have made the playoffs once in the last 10 seasons despite twice winning recent NHL draft lotteries to land young stars in Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes. They were 27th in attendance in a 32-team league this past season despite residing in a nice arena that is extremely easy to get to by car or train.
