Photo Credit: JustSports Photography / Binghamton Devils The Panel is made up of volunteers that offer opinions regarding players of the Binghamton Devils in Quarterly Grades reports throughout the season Part of the goal of mine as a blogger is to inform fans regarding players that are in Binghamton and the possibilities of them performing for the big club at any given moment.

Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports The one with the biggest potential, of course, is #9. Last season, there were 34 skaters who scored 20 goals or more at 5 on 5 action. These were your elite scorers who were able to dominate in full strength settings and give their teams much needed production in that setting. John Tavares led the way with 33, Jake Guentzel right behind him at 31, but many different names make that list, down to three different forwards who were moved mid-season, all having been moved from Ottawa to contenders. Not counting those who were traded, those skaters represented...

Photo by Bruce Bennett/ The Devils are entering this season with a mostly full NHL depth chart and a group of obvious challengers for the spots that are open. Can anyone outside that core group push their way into the roster conversation during training camp?

Yesterday, Gerard took a look at some of the potential storylines heading into camp this year and one of them was the question of if there are even any spots available to be won on the big club’s roster. The spots available are...

Photo by Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire via The Devils prospects were certainly met with a challenge in Buffalo but who stood out? The Top 25 Under 25 also marches on as we approach the Top 10.

It could be “Howl” again. | Photo by Andy Marlin/NHLI via Ahead of the 2019-20 preseason and regular season, the New Jersey Devils are reaching out to the fans to choose a new goal song - again.
