What if … the Devils did not trade for Cory Schneider at the 2013 NHL draft?

Over the past decade for the Devils, several moments stand out that led the franchise to where it is now, while a pandemic has left sports in the country at a standstill. The Devils missed the playoffs by five points in Schneider’s first season, while he and Brodeur split time in net. The Devils slipped further from playoff contention in 2014-15, despite Schneider’s.925 save percentage that earned him fifth place in the postseason NHL All-Star team voting. I think that’s a great sign, because he’s got all the talent in the world and just trying to develop his mindset a little bit more.” Had the Devils not traded for Schneider and kickstarted a rebuild earlier, they might be a playoff team, or even a Cup contender, by now. … “Being with a guy like that, and coming in with a welcoming good dude like that, I couldn’t have been luckier to be in the situation that I was in.” Coming tomorrow: Part II of this “what if” scenario — what would an alternate history of the Devils look like if they had not traded for Schneider at the 2013 NHL draft?
