The devils don't need to do anything. They aren't good enough to compete and the team with or without zajac isn't much different imo
Exactly. Travis is a much better player than people give him credit for. He is the best defensive forward the Devils have ever had IMO, and they've had some good ones. But losing him doesn't really change the likely outcome of the season. Any slim hope of squeaking into the playoffs is probably gone, but it was unlikely anyway. The Cup isn't the goal for this team right now. That's a long term goal. Right now is to develop players and draft well.
What I hope is that they don't throw Nico in over his head. Let Henrique slide to center the top line, or possibly Mojo.
