Yesterday’s scrum with New Jersey Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald was insightful. I certainly picked his brain as much as they would allow me. His thoughts on the pending free agents, one of which he didn’t expect to be quite so key, are in the links below. We’ll have more with Fitzgerald out later today as well.



Elsewhere, is Lindy Ruff’s job in Buffalo safe? What might a Kappo Kakko trade look like? And, could Sam Bennett make his way back to Calgary?

Let’s do that hockey.
