NJHN Daily: Huge Devils Blow, Still Buying, Taking Big Swing?
No one wanted to hear the news that was revealed by the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday. Yet, the reality has sunk in, and now the Devils will need to pivot.

More on it all in the links below.
Elsewhere, Pittsburgh makes a few moves, Alexander Georgiev sheds truth about Colorado, and Ryan Donato’s stock keeps rising.
Let’s do that hockey.
