Devils Daily: Devils Trade Option; Bennett has Rangers on Brink

The question everyone is asking now is who will be in the net for the New Jersey Devils next season. Given the fact that the free agent market for goaltenders is quite poor, an upgrade in net will certainly have to happen via a Devils trade. One of the options that New Jersey inquired about this season will likely be revisited this summer. However, it seems like the price of the former Vezina Trophy winner is increasing by the day.

Also, our Nick Natale writes why Sheldon Keefe will succeed with the Devils.

Elsewhere, the New York Rangers are pushed to the rink by the Florida Panthers as they take a 3-2 series lead heading back to Florida. The Isles reel in Ilya Sorokin’s former — now current — goaltending coach. And a potential Tampa Bay cap casualty could be a treasure for Philly.

Let’s do that hockey.
