The New Jersey Devils aren’t getting Jack Eichel. It makes no sense for them to go after a center with questions surrounding his neck, and they aren’t in the position to trade four or five great assets for one player. A center does not get them into the perennial playoff conversation, so acting like Eichel to the Devils is even the slightest possibility makes no sense.
