Surely the elephant in the room is the buck stops at Todd. Now I think Todd has done amazing things for the Devils and will continue to do so in the future but of all his seasons in charge I think this one he took his eye of the ball and got complacent across a broad range of subjects. Fan engagement is poor. PR content is poor. Match night experience is stale and repetitive. Appointment of head coach wrong. Some of his signings were poor (O’Connor). All leads you to question his motivation which no doubt is unfair but in the spirit of constructive criticism the issues this year have been more root and branch than just on ice. The whole culture of leading and not following has been eroded. This season is a rocket up the hoop as Steelers and Giants have moved away at the top in a lot more ways than purely on ice.
