Devils Daily: Devils Trade News; Martin Necas; Fanatics Jerseys

With the NHL Draft just a day away, trade activity is beginning to pick up. That includes the New Jersey Devils who are reportedly interested in a big-name forward on the market. There’s word a Devils trade could come to fruition on the draft floor. More on that in the links.

Jerseys! Fanatics is officially in, and Adidias is officially out. Not much has changed by way of design for the Devils, but plenty of folks, including Devils players, spoke highly of the quality of the Fanatics brand, squashing any negative suspicions.

Speaking of jerseys the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings both modernized old classics as their new uniforms in 2024-25. Each team hit a grand slam.

Thoughts on both: new jerseys and logos look great, big improvement on what they had, wish either would've fully leaned into their old looks (eggplant for the Ducks or purple/gold with either crown or chevron logo for the Kings) but all-in-all these are sweet. pic.twitter.com/22zyyv8yQs

Elsewhere, Boston is also in the hunt for a player in the mix for a Devils trade. Could the Tampa Bay captain be Nashville-bound? And a late-night trade between Chicago and Vancouver.

Let’s do that hockey.
