Yes my username suggests I’m a devils fan but, without a move or too i don’t know if this team has the depth that other metro teams have. Kent Johnson is 100% the X-factor

I'd rather have Kent on the third line as well, but I just have a gut feeling he's going to get top line minutes in the AHL for a little while.

Same. And frankly, I’m OK with it. We aren’t here to rush anyone.

KJ had real flashes of brilliance, but some time in CLE wouldn’t hurt. Same with Marchenko.

Exactly... PLUS he'll get to play major minutes at center.
