Lots of reason to think the Devils will climb the standings but there are some reasons why they might not either.

L Hughes and Nemec are still very young

J Hughes gets hurt every year

Hischier gets hurt often too

Markstrom is old so you never know what you will get

Hamilton missed tons of time

East is the better conference. Good teams miss the playoffs every year.
