Devils Daily: Blue Jackets Star Requests Trade; Utah Reveals Temporary Uniform

The Edmonton Oilers seemingly can’t contain the Florida Panthers. Thus, the Panthers have an opportunity to hoist a Lord Stanley on Saturday in front of Oilers country. Thats good news for New Jersey Devils fans.

The quicker the season officially ends, the sooner GM Tom Fitzgerald can make some moves.

In the links, one move the Devils should avoid involves Patrick Laine who is looking for a fresh start on a new team.

Elsewhere, the Utah Hockey Club revealed their temporary uniforms yesterday. Here’s a sneak peak at the threads with a better look in the links below.

NYI Hockey Now: Similarly to the Penguins, the New York Islanders are committed to some pretty long-term contracts. As a result, it’s more difficult to strip the roster down to the nuts and bolts and begin rebuilding. Therefore, it makes sense for them to try to reel in Laine from Columbus as well.
