Description

That's it........ that's all it costed for Trouba. How could Shero not match/ beat that? Vatanen, Santini, Bratt, Zacha, Mcleod, (basically anyone not named Hischier, Severson, or Hughes) and all those 2nds. The Devils' defense is bottom 5 in the league and still relies on a 36 old Andy Greene to play top 2 minutes, and outside of Santini has no D-man that knows hows to play defense. Butcher, Carrick, Smith, and Vatanen are all undersized offensive D-man that cannot protect the net.

The three best things that have happened since Shero became GM was the Devils got lucky and won the draft lottery (twice) and the Hall trade. But why would Hall want to stay on this team that seems to be fine with mediocrity. The Devils under Shero only have one playoff game win in 5 years and finished with less than 80 points three times in those 5 years.

Plus Shero's draft record has been garbage with the Devils. Outside of Hischier and (hopefully) Hughes, Shero's best pick is Bratt, a 6th round pick, Zacha hasn't lived up to 6th overall nor has Mcleod at 12th overall.

Zacha was actually decent when healthy and you still have boqvist to look forward to, not to mention blackwood

I am torn on Zacha, he is still young but was still sent down this year because of how bad he played. Blackwood looks decent same with Boqvist. My problems is those are still "ifs" if Zacha stays healthy, if Boqvist is ready for the NHL, if Blackwood will repeat his success or get his confidence destroyed behind this terrible defense.

Hall seems to have one foot out the door already and all Shero has really done is give the Devils tons of B level prospects that may or may not make the team.

Yep but outside of Hughes, Hischier, and Hall most of Shero's major moves have backfired: MoJo, Grabner, Vatanen, and Mueller.

With Hughes and Hischier as your 1C and 2C the Devils have a great foundation, but I am just not sure Shero is the right GM for the Devils anymore.
