I haven't heard anything of the sort. I wouldn't call him completely safe. I don't think there's been anything that's a truly fireable offense, but they have taken a marginal step back defensively from last year. Combine that with Vejmelka regressing back to league average, and they're having a harder time here. The tools are there for them to go on a run and get back into the playoff conversation. Really interested to see how Daniil But does in a top-six role and if he can elevate this offense to top-10 status.

What do the Devs need to to remain competative until J. Hughes comes back???

They're 4-5-0 since he went down. They have another 19 games until they expect him back in the lineup. If they keep that pace up over that stretch, they'll be 24-20-1 when he returns. That's not ideal considering how promising their start was. Their possession play has really regressed without him. I think they're missing Brett Pesce bad. He's already blown past his initial return timeline without much of an update, so that's not promising. A really wonder about a stopgap righty on the blue line.

That's the hour, folks. Appreciate the great questions today!
