The Johnny Kovacevic contract might become a problem for the New Jersey Devils

Last season, the New Jersey Devils rewarded defenseman Johnny Kovacevic with a five-year, $20 million contract. While it's not a ton of money, the length of the contract and his current play have become an issue for the franchise.

This season has been one of the birds for all New Jersey Devils fans. Jack Hughes’s Golden Goal can only help so much with the devastating issues that plague this franchise. There’s a good chance that there will be a complete overhaul of the front office and coaching staff if a miracle isn’t performed at the end of the season.
