According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the New Jersey Devils are open to trading the fourth overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.
Friedman reports the Devils are looking for a “good, young defenseman” if they do move out of the top four in the upcoming draft.
The first round of the 2021 NHL Draft will be broadcast on Friday, July 23, at 8 p.m. ET and will also air on ESPN2 in the United States.
The Devils have roughly $37 million in salary cap space next season, and many anticipate GM Tom Fitzgerald being active in both the free agent and trade market this summer.
