nice write up - I love the optimism, and the fact that the season might actually start soon! I've been reading your stuff for a while though, Todd, so I'm scared about what the next article might be: 3 reasons to be skeptical about the devils in 2021?

it seems like Fitz did exactly what he said he was going to do when he got the job - fill in the holes and put a competitive team together that should be able to scrap and claw for a playoff spot.

Regarding Ty Smith, I would be interested to hear how you envision his season going, though I guess you kinda just did that. Seeing how Makar and Q Hughes were able to come in and control play so quickly, it is hard for me to get a sense of where expectations for Smith should land. seems like pairing him with kulikov should help enable his offensive abilities.

yeah I think Kulikov will be a good partner for him. can do some of the heavy lifting in the corners and will always be back to help cover up any mess. Should give Smith some freedom to take chances and use his skill to make plays
