So yeah I don't think Hynes is the coach to get us over the hump. Shero will continue to improve the roster, but I expect them to continue to under perform until Shero makes the switch.
I guess it is ok to wait until there is better options in this or the next offseason, but yeah. I don't see Hynes as the answer, and it will take someone else to get this team back into the playoffs.

Its a damn shame that Josefson cant score to save his life because he's a fine forward beside that. He is responsible, he has good vision, he has good hands (clearly shown during the shootouts and some in tight stick handling he can do), he isnt bad in the dot this year, he is normally physical on board battles, and he has speed to boot. But the guy cant find the back of the net. Its frustrating because he has all the tools but perhaps the most important. He and Zacha seem to have something working they are very good together, its just a shame that Josefson cant find some type of goal touch. If he could just be a 25-30 point player we would have a hell of a 3rd line center.
So I think the thing I had about this club the most is that since the Cup run they've progressively made me care less and less. For the first time in my life I don't necessarily care if I catch the majority of the games. Granted having a kid probably plays into that as well but I just am disinterested a lot of times and that's sad to me.
Different phases sometimes require different leaders.
Everyone's on board for a 'rebuild', but few people have the patience to see it through.
I'll take the high draft pick and hopefully it's one of the top two. However, it's time for the Devils to clean house. Our defense is terrible and will be much harder to rebuild, as for the for forwards, things need to change. Get rid of Cammy, he's done, but the Fiddler's, DSP, and Kalinin aren't any better than what we had in the past. Even a player like Andy Green should be a 3rd pairing defensemen, not our number one or two. Shero, needs to add two defensemen and rebuild the 3rd and 4th line again. I'd like to see players like Coleman and other from Albany brought up and given a fair shot. we also need JQ to make it at least as a 3rd.line player and although there aren't and McDavid's or Matthews, one of the top two can help. I give Palimeri and Henrique another shot before I would considering moving them. However, most importly, Shero needs to fire Hynes, he looks lost.
Honestly the only coach I would dump Hynes for is Tippett. We'll see how this offseason goes.
ain't this the damn truth.
Sent down to get work during the break.
Hopefully.
