In case any confirmation was needed, the latest game was a grim reminder that the New Jersey Devils need a retool. This team is bad and looked effortless in a 3-0 defeat against the Columbus Blue Jackets, a team on the rise that passed them by a few weeks back.
The Devils can use a retool. Not a rebuild like their rival New York Rangers but with the season being a lost cause, they can use a reset. Of course, it’s not easy to do so when so many players are tied down with no-trade clauses but it’s still possible.
