Devils Daily: Devils Trade Board; Mike Sullivan’s Seat Warm?

To the readers of New Jersey Hockey Now:

Thank you for your patience while I tended to my family as we welcomed our son to the world nearly two weeks ago. Everyone is happy and healthy, and we’re finally starting to figure out our new daily schedule.

Now that our lives are somewhat back on track, the New Jersey Devils Daily returns.

The daily doesn’t return alone. New Jersey Hockey Now welcomes Nick Natale as the first-ever contributor on the site. Be sure to follow him on X (formerly Twitter) @NickNatale10 for even more Devils coverage.

Now, in the links. The Devils may or may not use the 10th overall selection to draft a player. If they decide to trade it, they’d be smart to inquire for an upgraded defenseman. We took a look at some options.

Plus, a mock draft, who the Devils might choose if they do pick at 10th overall, and how Devils players did on Day One of the IIHF Mens World Championship.

Elsewhere,

Let’s do that hockey.
