As the New Jersey Devils prepare for the 2026-27 season, there are expectations for Timo Meier to enhance his performance. Last season, Meier recorded 24 goals and 44 points, which is seen as insufficient given his $8.8 million salary. The Devils are counting on his contributions for a successful playoff push. Additionally, the team's off-season activities, including a well-regarded draft and new trades, could bolster their chances. The Devils face questions about their playoff viability and see a significant change with a new general manager and a new top goalie.
