NHL GM delivers an ultimatum to his players

Expectations are high for the New Jersey Devils. And general manager Ray Shero made it very clear on Friday. 

The Devils GM wants to forget about the two previous seasons, and is "adamant about getting back to the style of Devils hockey that was on display during his first season at the helm of the team."

"We need to earn back the credibility and respect from other teams around the league!" Shero said on the first day of training camp. 

The strong message has been sent and hopefully the players have received it and are ready to compete. Good thing that former NCAA star Will Butcher has joined the club and will surely look to meet the high expectations his GM has established.
