Simon Nemec certainly picked the right season to seemingly start breaking out didn’t he? Of all the free agents the Devils have coming up at the end of the 2025-26 season, Nemec is probably the most interesting one to look at. You can argue Arseny Gritsyuk might be more important, but I think Nemec presents […]

The New Jersey Devils are sinking fast. As of this writing, they’ve lost five straight games with no end in sight. Their fifth loss in a row, a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Boston Bruins, was especially embarrassing. You could argue that the Devils were the better team in that game, but it’s […]
