The #NJDevils are going to be buyers at the trade deadline for the first time since the 2017-18 season.
They currently sit at 2nd place in the Metro Division, with a remarkable 34-13-4 record.
According to Ryan Novozinsky:
“Still, they remain wary about mortgaging the future.”
In Novozinsky’s article, which can be found on his Twitter or on NJ.com - GM Tom Fitzgerald stated “We’re not going to impair what we want to do going forward in the future.”

This is a very reasonable approach, for as frustrating as it may initially sound. That’s not saying that they’ll do nothing, but rather they’ll be smart about it and not make impulsive decisions that will hurt the team for years down the road.
Some players linked to the Devils include Patrick Kane, Timo Meier, and Brock Boeser. Should be veryyy interesting to see how this all shapes up. 👀
