Will the Devils have a 30-goal scorer?

They haven't had a player score at least 30 goals the past three seasons. Ilya Kovalchuk, Zach Parise and David Clarkson each had at least that many in 2011-12, the last time the Devils qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Mike Cammalleri, who came close in 2014-15 when he scored 27 goals, is the most likely to do so. The Devils are expected to get younger up front this season with Reid Boucher, Stefan Matteau and Zacha candidates to see significant time. The fact Hynes wants to attack and pressure the opposition bodes well for players who might not attract all the attention. Cammalleri, 33, who scored nine power-play goals, has scored at least 30 goals twice in his NHL career and had his highest total in six seasons in 2014-15. Adam Henrique, who is entering his fifth full season, had 25 goals in 2013-14 and is capable of building on that.

Will the Devils qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

It's no secret the Devils are in a transitional period, not only within the front office but the personnel they'll have on the ice. It might take some time for all the pieces to come together, learn the system Hynes will instill, and then move forward with that game plan on a consistent basis.
