That is like what Tre walked in to
Paraphrasing another post earlier, bad management can ruin a promising situation

In terms of the 4th OA pick and cap space, it's similar.
But Alexander Holtz (7th), Jack Hughes (1st), Nico Hischier (1st), Pavel Zacha (6th) is a lot more than Monahan (6th).
The oldest forward on the Devils is 26 years old. All but 2 are 24 or younger. All of their forwards except Andreas Johnson will be RFAs when their contracts expire.
It will be harder to mess that up than the team that Treliving walked into. The Devil's have genuinely been good at signing their younger players to good contracts.
But yeah, when cap space is wasted on old vets that room can run out in a hurry.
They should probably use some but not all of it this summer.
