It's about that time of year where I begin to look to next season, specifically what ratings my current players will have for next season, using the formulas found here: https://cmhlrangers.proboards.com/thread/23491/season-14-final-rerate-formulas. To my knowledge, there hasn't been any changes.

As a result of winning the free agency contest, GM Marty has the honor and privilege of recieving an in depth article of his teams top 10 prospects, written by yours truly!!

With three first round picks in Season 5, and one in Season 6, the Devils built one of the most top prospect rich teams in the league. And with three of the four first rounders still with the team, the Devils are showing a commitment to their draft picks that is rarely seen in the league these days.

The future is bright with Cody Hodgson

Over the course of 30 days, yours truly is going to take a look at each team in the league, examine their off-season moves, assess the biggest issue facing the team, highlight a player or two to watch for, and finally give an outlook on the season.

First up, the New Jersey Devils.

The New Jersey Devils are the CMHL's most up/down team ever. One season their pushing for the stanley cup and another season their destroying everything in an attempt to land high picks and rebuild.

Season 5 seems to be following the trend of making the playoffs and the Devils have made a couple moves to hopefully break free from what was described "The clusterf*ck that is the Eastern Conference playoff race."

Since winning the Stanley Cup in Season 3, it's been a tough ride for the New Jersey Devils. Falling short of the playoffs in Season 4 amidst some terrific goaltending, the Devils came into Season 5 in good spirits and with high hopes. Neither of those elements have faded yet as the Devils march forward in Season 5, their heads high.

2 Years removed from winning the CMHL Stanley Cup, and 1 year removed from finishing in the bottom 10 of the league. The New Jersey Devils are now preparing for season 5, and coming with it is a new start. A renewed passion, a new revamped team philosophy, and the biggest roster overturn the Devils implemented since season 2. No More rebuilding, no more last place finishes, no more happy with "it is what it is", no more complacentcy..

Fight for Glory, Fight for Respect, Fight for The Stanley Cup
