NJHN Daily: Did the Devils Break the Panthers? NHL Trade Chatter

Now don’t get all excited and start pointing fingers saying we’re making this accusation. All were simply observing is that since the New Jersey Devils swept the Florida Panthers in their building last week, the defending Stanley Cup Champions haven’t been the same.

Hey, it happens, teams go through the ebbs and flows. There’s no way the Devils actually broke the Panthers, right? Right…? George Richards has more on the Panthers’ play in the links below.

Plus, Sheldon Keefe questions the level of respect for the Devils. Stefan Noesen’s been a key contributor.

Elsewhere, lots of NHL trade chatter such as trade targets to kickstart a rebuild in Pittsburgh, Philly’s appetite for a young center with star potential, and the first big name mentioned as an NHL trade deadline candidate.

Let’s do that hockey.
