EDGE Analysis

New Jersey's first-round selection in 2016 solidified his role in the NHL with nine goals and six assists over 52 games last season, but he posted a minus-12 rating on a Devils team that languished near the bottom of the standings. New Jersey's hoping to be more competitive this year, but the jury's still out on whether that will be the case. The bottom-six center's off to a slow start, with just one helper and a minus-4 rating through seven games.
