Could be. If I had to guess, the market inefficiency is defensive ability.

I haven't done the analysis but my gut feeling is coaches usually do better in their second or third coaching job. But maybe that is because a lot of rookie coaches start on bad teams (doesn't necessarily apply to Keefe though) and second jobs are with better teams.

I am not saying it is impossible, I just think it is very unlikely. I think the league has changed a lot in the past 15 years. More teams tanking and taking on massive rebuilds leading to more talent on top contenders and more padding rosters at trade deadline.

That's 15 Stanley Cups ago.

I have some of the same concerns about Dallas. Johnston, Stankhoven, Harley, Bourque are all very young. Hard to find teams with that many young players on their roster winning the Cup.

I think the Devils are likely still a couple years away from being true Cup contenders. Just look how long Edmonton's core of McDavid, Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins, Nurse, etc. took to make serious runs in the playoffs.

It seems a lot of people are picking the NJ Devils to win the Stanley Cup, or at least get there. I am not sure this is there year yet. Teams with a significant number of players under age 25 just don't win Stanley Cups, or make it to the finals. J. Hughes 23. Mercer 22. L. Hughes 21. Nemec 20.

The NHL season has officially started so here is an update on TheStanleyCap.com. Unfortunately I am not quite ready for an official launch. I need a couple more weeks to get the database fully populated and the salary cap calculators working flawlessly.

Donald Trump loses this debate because it should be abundantly clear to everyone that he is the least qualified of the four top ticket candidates to be president.

I suspect some of today's buzz technologies will be the same. Will everyone wear their fancy glasses all the time in 10 or 20 or 30 years? I highly doubt it. Will it find special case uses? Sure.
