Devils in the Details - 7/22/24: The Squire Edition
A look at the well-balanced defense the Devils should now have: “With the additions of Pesce and Dillon and hopefully a bounceback season from Jonas Siegenthaler, the Devils should have three defenders who post positive ratings on the defensive side of the game.
