In this episode of the Lose for Hughes Podcast, we continue our annual tradition with Part 2 of our 2026-27 New Jersey Devils season preview. Before diving into the Eastern Conference, we discuss the breaking news out of New Jersey that Bryan McCabe - along with another unnamed Florida Panthers front-office member - will be joining the Devils’ front office staff for the upcoming season. We break down McCabe’s role with the Panthers and what his addition could mean for the Devils moving forward. From there, we continue our theme of additions and subtractions, turning our attention to the other Metropolitan Division teams and the Eastern Conference as a whole. We examine the key player personnel changes across the East and discuss how the Devils stack up within the division and conference - from Carolina’s continued dominance to some unexpected teams that could make the playoff race more challenging for New Jersey.
