The guys talk game preview as the Bruins come to town, with Adam spotlighting the Devils league best Power Play against the Bruins top shelf Penalty Kill. Beyond the Special Teams play, and notable key defenseman, the guys discuss Timo Meier, who has been underwhelming thus far for New Jersey. A player who is meant to be a steady hand, and physical play creator, Timo will find himself on the Right Wing with Jack Hughes looking for a spark as the mid-season review approaches.

The Brother's Hughes did not disappoint. While it took Quinn a bit longer, in the end all three siblings, sharing the NHL ice together for the first time, succeeded on the Tuesday Night game. The Devils provided a explosive four goal first period, but in true 2023 fashion found themselves tied 5-5 late in the third period. Jesper Bratt sealed the win with his second goal of the night, but in the end it was Vitek Vanecek that took thee spotlight once again. Average in the first, strong in the second and a meltdown in the third. The inconsistent play between the pipes continues to be a concern for the Devils.

The guys look at the poor play of Vitek Vanecek, and why Akira Schmid needs to given a chance in the starting role. Fans seem to want to go after Lindy Ruff, which brings the question, what game are we watching? With stability coming to the defense, and Nico Hischier guiding the squad back on course, it is only between the pipes where the very real concerns should be.

The guys look back at tthe Rangers loss, and what went wrong late. Jack Hughes is back, but the Devils will now be without the steadying presence of Timo Meier. In a rocky start to the 2023 season, the next six games represent, on paper, a stretch where New Jersey can get a few wins under their belt - and push off the narrative that this team is in the first phase of a letdown year.

The guys look at the sustainability of the Devils offense without Jack Hughes. The loss of Nico Hischier may actually be amplified now as well, as his stead board play has proven critical to consistency in the offensive zone.

For the second straight game Jack Hughes and the high flying offense looked great... once they got going. On a back-to-back opening the season, the Devils struggled to find there offensive rhythm, and even with Akira Schmid playing excellent - found themselves down 2-0 in the second period. A chaotic 20-minute session filled with seven total penalties and three Devils goals thrust them into a third period lead. But with all but one defenseman spending time in the Penalty Box Neew Jersey coughed up the lead, and following OT, the Win went to the Yotes on a Penalty Shootout. For a young team, with championship goals, consistent and penatly free hockey needs to be the cornerstone of their success.

Jack Hughes came to play at the Rock on opening night! While it ttook the Devils 20 minutes to find their rhythm but showed off many of the attributes we expect to carry them through a long 82-game season. Beyond Jack Hughes speed, puck handling and clinical finishing, there was Vitek Vanecek - who without question held the Devils in the game early and provided Power Play and Short-Handed saves in critical moments. It was however, not the complete game Danny and Adam wanted to see. Special Teams showed some familiar struggles to a year ago, and surprisingly the Devils failed to win the face-of battle by a significant margin. In the end the result is all that matters in the early days of the season and New Jersey did just that, securing the home opener win.

Adam Armbrecht looks at Luke Hughes and the Devils final preseason game. It was a young display in the last tune-up as Simon Nemec, Tyce Thompson and the young prospects for New Jersey saw plenty of ice-time. Simon Nemec showed off exactly why he has a bright future, picking up his second goal of camp.; There was however plenty to watch from a regular season standpoint as Akira Schmid gave a mid-season performance, turning away several critical shots. Nate Bastian also got himself more run as he looks to work himself back into form. Adam highlights the successful Penalty Kill Unit's and Curtis Lazar's continued versatility.

Jack Hughes scores, Luke Hughes scores, Jesper Bratt scores. Need we say more? The Devils have taken a weakness in their Power Play performance and seemingly turned it into a potential top NHL strength. Adam highlights the confident and deliberate nature of the Special Teams for New Jersey on both ends, which leads to discussing Simon Nocek's emerging role, the pesky play of Curtis Lazar, and the overall excitement around getting thee meaningful games this year!

Should Simon Nemec watch from the bench, or get reps in the AHL? Thatt is the debate between Danny and Adam. They look at the play of Smith and Miller and disagree on where the best value should be for Simon Nemec. On Offense, camp has shown exactly why Curtis Lazar was picked up last season, a grinding full effort guy the Devils want on that fourth line. The question now, will Nocek be locked into the starting role - Or could Tyce Thompson and Nolan Foote make a case for a NHL spot? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jack and Luke Hughes showcased every bit of their sibling connection on the Devils Power Play against the Rangers. It has the guys very excited about a 2022 weakness becoming a very dangerous weapon in 2023. Adam looks to be proven right at the moment, predicting Alexander Holtz would start on the second line - a position he will need to continue his strong preseason in order to maintain. The guys then discuss the impressive top line with Jesper Bratt, Jack Hughes and Tyler Toffoli and if this now becomes one of the top lines in the NHL. DPL closes out by discussing the young players on the Devils - Simon Nemec may ultimately start in the AHL, while Graeme Clarke seems to still have NHL buzz - All of which is a great reminder of the incoming talent Devils fans can be excited for. With the Flyers on tap tonight, Tyce Thompson and Santeri Hatakka remain players to watch as they have provided impressive preseason samples thus far. Learn more about your ad choices.

Alexander Holtz put together the two-way performance fans needed to see in the pre-season opener. For a player very much under the microscope the Devils young offensive talent looks poised to emerge as a key figure this season. Tyce Thompson and Santeri Hatakka also showcased the Devils AHL depth, and potentially the next wave of in-season call ups. The guys are deligghted by Jesper Bratt's mid-season form and discuss how the top lines could shape up with Jack Hughes. They also look at some promising results on the Power Play as well as a tactical shiftt away from the dump and chase mentality - one which Adam has long viewed as damning to the on puck talent possession the Devils have. Itt is a deep ranging and excited look at how the Devils enter the pre-season, how Lindy Ruff will explore player combinations, and the depth New Jersey brings to the season ahead!

Replacing gRyan Graves and Damon Severson have two straight forward answers: Kevin Bahl and Luke Hughes. The question becomes who is best to serve on the second pairing with John Marino? Stylistically, the Devils could create a dominant defense combination with Bahl and Marino, or give Luke Hughes a trusteed anchor allowing the offensive minded young player to use his speed and dynamic playmaking. Beyond, or specifically behind the defense the guys also discuss Vanecek and Schmid, who deserves to start the season and ultimately who will get plugged in as the primary anchor between the pipes.

This is on the list of offseason fears for Devils fans - Tomas Tatar, veteran NHL Wing, rumored to possibly join the Pittsburgh Penguins. Having already discussed how DPL things the Penguins have a bounce-back year, adding Tatar would certainly sting the fan base. Making the pain all but disappear however, could be as simple as Alexander Holtz meeting expectations to start the upcoming season. The 21 year old is plugged in on the third line and can finally convert his AHL stats into NHL success. The guys discuss his role, how Lindy Ruff will approach his development, and if Holtz could well be both starter and trade fodder all at the same time. Adam and Danny also close out the show discussing the early schedule for New Jersey, and why Alexander Holtz could be afforded a longer leash, with(on paper) an easy opening slate.

The guys welcome in Jimmy Fanizzi, host of "From the Blue Seats" to discuss the somewhat different directions the Devils and Rangers franchises are heading. Make no mistake, the New York Rangers are still very much focused on deep playoff runs and a Stanley Cup, but when the young New Jersey Devils took them out in the first round of last years NHL playoffs - it did seem to be a clear shift. Adam, Danny and Jimmy look at what went wrong(for New York) and how their offseason stacks up to the Devils. It is a fun Network crossover that ends with the classic "If Not Hockey, What?"

Hosts Adam Armbrecht and Danny McDonough put the New Jersey Devils depth to the ultimate test - a head to head host battle to construct a dominant Devils roster. The guys go pick for pick, with Jack Hughes the crown jewel but plenty of talent on the offensive and defensive fronts. Adam spends the early rounds focused on Defensive youth and experience, while Danny looks for firepower on the wings. There is great debate around the Goalie value, underhanded mind games and cunning strategies throughout! Ultimately it is the perfect display of just how deep this New Jersey Devils roster is.

Luke Hughes got a small taste of the NHL in a big way, joining the post-season roster for New Jersey this past year. Than has Adam already setting a high bar for the young Defenseman, who he believes can be a 60 point scorer in his first full season. This leads to a natural discussion of pairings for the Devils on Defense, expectations for Dougie Hamilton and the balance this team will need to find given the influx of offensive talent. Danny believes Timo Meier is ready to expand his value in his first full season with New Jersey and on a newly minted contract. Despite an understandably tentative integration, there are a few key stats that suggest Timo Time is about to strike in a big way.

Kevin Bahl had his ups and downs across the 2022-23 season for the New Jersey Devils, but as is the case with many young players, he sees it as the growth process early in his career. The 2year deal $1.05AAV represents another smart contract from GM Tom Fitzgerald who continues to strike the right balance of retaining youthful pieces while folding in new key veterans. Adam and Danny breakdown what they want to see more of from the 23-year old Defenseman, and how the pairings could shift in the upcoming season as Luke Hughes joins the full time rotation.

GM Fitzgerald continues his offseason of success and the guys are in to break down the recent wave of moves. First, the Devils sent a 2025 fifth rounder to Dallas for Defenseman Colin Miller. Another move for veteran experience and consistency, Miller offers a safety net among with Smith and Luke Hughes begins his rise for New Jersey. Mikey McLeod and Nathan Bastian also signed 1 and 2-yea deals respectively, keeping the two tied at the hip on and off the ice. McLeod emerged during the NHL playoffs for New Jersey and keeping his gritting play(and face-off percentage) mattered for the Devils this year.

The New Jersey Devils have been very busy this offseason, and as the Draft approaches GM Tom Fitzgerald went ahead and made a move for a veteran Wing in Tyler Toffoli. Sending a third round pick in the 2023 Draft along with impeding Free Agent Yegor Sharangovich back to Calgary, the Devils add another experienced veteran to support their young core.

The guys are in talking New Jersey Devils as the offseason officially gets underway. After the Devils negotiated just the second sign-and-trade in NHL history, the front office wasted no time retaining one of their young core, re-signing Jesper Bratt to an 8/$63m contract. The descending money makes it a very team friendly deal that will afford the Devils the ability to add pieces in the years ahead. Timo Meier also entered team arbitration, reducing his cap number from $10m down to $8.5m while of still being on track for a long-term deal. The guys discuss what these departures and signings mean, and where players like Luke Hughes and Nemec fit into the rotation.
