Devils Daily: Offer Sheet News; Surprise Trades; Lightning For Sale
August is typically a slow news month in the NHL, until it isn’t. On Tuesday, the St. Louis Blues woke up hockey fans everywhere, making a splash in the restricted free agent market. Don’t worry, it didn’t involve New Jersey Devils forward Dawson Mercer.
However, we took a look at what that could look like in the links below.
Elsewhere, it was an active day for the Blues who took part in a trade. That was just the quick note for St. Louis on Tuesday, however. They were involved in some much deeper negotiations explained below.
Plus, the Tampa Bay Lightning are suddenly for sale, and the Isles are searching for a new identity.
Let’s do that hockey.
