On Thursday night, TSN’s Darren Dreger reported on Insider Trading that the New Jersey Devils are expecting to be active around the NHL trade deadline on Feb. 24. Dreger said that regardless of Tom Fitzergald’s label of interim general manager, he will be busy and “expects that there will be a ton of activity around some of his players.”
Dreger first mentioned that there will be activity around the team’s unrestricted free agents in Wayne Simmonds, Sami Vatanen, and captain Andy Greene. TSN’s Bob McKenzie chimed in on Simmonds and mentioned that the Vancouver Canucks were interested in the veteran winger.
