I was going to lose my mind lol. Not a fan of having Meier in front though. IIRC he was mostly used as a flank guy in SJ but we've been trying to jam him in front a lot cause big
Also depends on how he gets the most touches/shots.
If the first PP unit has Hamilton and Hughes on it then they get a lot of the touches. Bratt kind of sits on that far side not doing much except trying to get open for one timers.
I could see the Devils PP using the net front man less as a screen and more as a weak side option for a Hughes pass that really forces the down low defense to pick their poison.

So I guess I’m in the “who knows” camp until we see what the Devils PP concept is this year.
I can see a future where the Devils move half of PP1 down to PP2 just to make sure some of the guys can get more touches and feature more when they’re on the ice.
