For the most part, the New Jersey Devils did what they had to do at the NHL Trade Deadline last Monday. Interim general manager Tom Fitzgerald unloaded three players set to hit unrestricted free agency this summer; goaltender Louis Domingue, defenseman Sami Vatanen, and forward Wayne Simmonds. In addition, he dealt veteran captain Andy Greene along with forward Blake Coleman just over a week ago.
Some other players remaining on the Devils roster after the deadline were kicked around in rumors, but ended up not being dealt.
