Devils Insiders Radio

The Devils didn't fare well against the better teams in the Eastern Conference's other division last year. After posting a 10-12-2 record against the Atlantic, we'll discuss each of the 8 teams in the division in terms what they did in the offseason, how they play and what the Devils will need to do to find success against them this season.

We had some questions in the queue and it's the end of the week, so we answered a bunch.  Topics include Nathan Bastian & Wayne Simmonds relationship, Panarin's deal affecting Hall, Jake Gardiner, Jack Hughes as a 1C, Gusev as LW or RW and a comparable, the holdup in the Zacha signing, swapping Miles Wood to gain cap room, Boqvist as an NHL 4th liner, Nico taking a long-term extension this summer, Kowalsky & the PP/its configuration, Nasreddine coaching Ty Smith, Andrei Markov & our upcoming 500th episode.

When we saw Scott Wheeler of The Athletic's recent top prospects list, we didn't agree with Ty Smith's placement.  So we went through his list and debated the names ahead of Ty to see where the 2018 17th overall pick should truly fit.
