It’s often been said that the Devils need to improve by 20% year on year and by inference this includes next year. We’ll retain most of this years’ team I would think and while Reddick improved dramatically when Strachan was paired with him (who wouldn’t by the way and we may not have Strachan around to shield him next season), I feel that this is the obvious area where an upgrade is possible, if we’re willing to splash the cash. He played well post Xmas and gave his all in every game and that’s to his great credit after the start he made, but I’m sorry I didn’t see MOM performances from him week in, week out. Better and less risky performances yes, but not MOM week in week out. That is surely overstating his ability. Would I be disappointed if he stayed? No, l don’t think so but he can be improved upon, for me anyway.
