3. Cory Schneider

Cory Schneider had some success during his time with the Canucks as he played a good amount of games with them. He now has an opportunity to defend the net for the Devils as their starting goaltender.

With the help of Subban and Greene on defense, Schneider will certainly have less pressure to worry about between the net.

Schneider has a quick glove and possesses good vision when taking on shots. He also has experience in the league to showcase to the NHL that he is ready to lead the Devils. The key for the Devils will be to focus on keeping Schneider healthy as they do not have extensive backup goaltenders to rely on.

It will be a fun and exciting time to watch the Devils play this upcoming season and even more exciting to watch the play-making ability of Corey Schneider. As long as the defense can step up and the offense can work on defensive awareness, the Devils look to be a team in great shape.

It will be a challenge to keep up the good work in net but as long as Schneider can remain healthy during the regular season, the Devils look to have a promising season of making the playoffs.
