Now, it’s not perfect. There are still some weak areas. However, the Devils will ice a much deeper team than last season and fans can feel validated in their renewed belief in the team. More on the dopth in the links.
Elsewhere, Jeremy Swayman contract rumors, Ivan Demidov highlights, and St. Louis’ players are excited by the successful offer sheets.

Talking to Swayman last week was all I needed. It’s getting done for training camp. Everybody is free to lose their mind between now and then, but it’s been wild to see how far people are taking it. I know it’s August and we’re all bored and need something but goodness. https://t.co/oWoSep3lFZ
