NJHN Daily: Devils Target Update; Rangers Trade Hold-Up; Zibanejad Moved Next?
The NHL trade chatter grows more and more each and every day. The Stanley Cup Final is entering the back end stages of the series, and the official offseason is upon us. As a result, teams are more active, thus, the New York Rangers nearing a deal that will shake up the core. It makes you wonder what New Jersey Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald has up his sleeve.
Perhaps he was looking to Vegas who might be in need of some cap relief. More on that in the links.
Elsewhere, as the Chris Kreider decision looms, is Mika Zibanejad next? Speaking of Vegas, what’s going on with their messy situation? And could there be a shake-up on, Long Island, too?
Let’s do that hockey.
