Tom Fitzgerald and the New Jersey Devils have crossed off a need on their list on the eve of free agency as they acquire defenseman Ryan Murray from the Columbus Blue Jackets for a 2021 5th-round pick. Murray played only 27 games last season due to injury and the shortened season. In those games, he had two goals and seven assists for nine points.
