Most New Jersey Devils fans assume Ondrej Palat is one of the players who blocked a trade Tom Fitzgerald attempted to shed salary, but a recent insider report claims that his name isn't in the rumors he's hearing.
The New Jersey Devils have been all over the rumor mill, even after the Quinn Hughes drama has a temporary solution. While there are many reports about how the Devils could have ponied up for Hughes, including one from ESPN that named a package of Anton Silayev, Simon Nemec, Dawson Mercer, and a first round pick, that proposed trade was reportedly killed by the Devils’ inability to move money.
