The New Jersey Devils have some big decisions to make, but some would argue that the biggest of them all should have been made already.
That big decision is none other than signing Luke Hughes, a pending RFA whose situation is threatening to drag into the start of training camp. That didn't work well for the Devils and Dawson Mercer before, so doing it with the franchise defenseman is even more unwise.
On Friday, Ryan Novozinsky of NJ.com reported that Hughes's camp was seeking a deal that would take him and his brother, Jack Hughes, to free agency in the same year, 2030.
