List of trades and signings 1985
We've tried to trade for Dave Hunter for several seasons, and finally managed to secure a deal. Dave Hunter will now join his brothers Dale Hunter and Mark Hunter in the Devils. The trio have the chance of all winning the Stanley Cup while playing for the same team. Red Wings are desperate for decent goalies, while the Devils have several promising goalies in the system, so it makes sense to trade away Eddie Mio.
A longshot prospect that probably never will make it into the NHL. |

New Jersey Devils
Building a DynastyThe objective is straightforward: Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The goal for the 1985–86 season is to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs again, while continuing building a future contender. Glenn Resch is a solid veteran goalie, but Devils really need a goalie bluechipper since Resch is in time decline. Our defence is solid and our main strength. When it comes to the offense we have a 3 defensive centers (Dale Hunter, Joel Otto and Brian Skrudland) and a offensive playmaker in Aaron Broten. On the wings we have several quality power forwards, grinders and agitators that are capable of stealing games.
Main Rivals New York Rangers
Minor Rivals Edmonton Oilers
The playoff series during the debut season created a new rivalry with the New York Rangers. So expect intense and heated division matches against Rangers. The other rivalry is Edmonton Oilers; the team to beat in the NHL. Since the move from Colorado to New Jersey we obviously don't play in the same division or conference any more, but the AI still lists the rivalry as active and the last Stanley Cup Finals against the Oilers keeps the rivalry alive.
Head Coach Fred Shero
Offensive Coach Roger Neilson Defensive Coach Jacques Demers Goalie Coach Lowell Reeves
With Fred Shero as our head coach we will continue to play a defensive and very physical tactic in the same mold as the Broad Street Bullies. We are aggressive team that use physical strength, fighting and intimidation as a tactic.
