The Capitals are a good template for teams that want to retool on the fly without moving on from the core players. The Devils are hoping to do the same but must be patient to see success.
The Hockey News highlights how the New Jersey Devils are attempting to emulate the Washington Capitals' successful model of retooling on the fly. Heading into a matchup between the two clubs, the Devils hope recent acquisitions by general manager Sunny Mehta can revitalize the roster around their existing core without undergoing a full rebuild.
The publication notes that while Washington found success adding players like Dylan Strome and Jakob Chychrun alongside strong farm system development, New Jersey is banking on additions like Luke Evangelista, Declan Chisholm, and AHL Utica Comets prospects to build sustained depth.
