Anything can change on a head with just one phone call. That’s seemingly what’s happened here with the New Jersey Devils, who are late entrants into the J.T. Miller sweepstakes. Will they go big? It’ll require major roster construction surgery. However, one insider believes their interest is real.
Until the Devils get the necessary jolt in their lineup, Sheldon Keefe needs to make adjustments. That started on Tuesday at practice.
Elsewhere, Philly GM discusses NHL trade deadline plans, injury updates on a couple of ex-Devils, and Utah’s struggle to acquire their name.
Let’s do that hockey.
