New Jersey Devils 25 and Under Roster

The Devils had high expectations this year. After taking star forward Jack Hughes with the number one pick in the 2019 draft and then trading for superstar defenseman P.K. Subban, they seemed like a strong Cup contender. All those expectations, however, were then thrown in the gutter. The Devils are again one of the worst teams in the league. Their goaltending has still struggled, Taylor Hall was traded away, and both P.K. Subban and Jack Hughes have completely underperformed. This just shows that it may just take some time for the Devils to get back into form, but lets see a preview of what that team may look like in the future.
