The New Jersey Devils are in a dicey situation. Without Luke Hughes long-term, it makes all the sense in the world to hang onto Dougie Hamilton. At least until the offseason. However, the Devils trade chatter hasn’t gone away.
Yesterday, a team on Hamilton’s approved list was revealed. Typically, that means conversations have been had. It’s believed the Devils are still prepared to trade him. We’ll see what happens. More below in the links on the Hamilton suitor.
Elsewhere, San Jose is eyeing an NYR blueliner, an Artemi Panarin trade wrinkle, and more.
Let’s do that hockey.
