Opponents can write this Devils team off at their own peril.

Prognosticators may not be bullish on this team, but the re-designed Devils have used the preseason to develop a weapon that has made them both exciting and dangerous as the regular season approaches — speed.

"I think we came together pretty well. We learned how to play with speed," defenseman Damon Severson told NJ Advance Media. "That was one of the things I noticed big time. We never really played with speed last year. It was more of a chip and chase game.

"As anybody can see, we're getting speed through the neutral zone and holding onto the puck when we don't see a play. We're not just throwing it away off the glass or something like that. It's more fun to play like this. I think guys are enjoying it and we're looking forward to doing it all year."
