Igor Eronko: Devils GM Ray Shero said that they haven’t officially signed defenseman Yegor Yakovlev, but once the World Championships are over, they’ll head back to North America to hopefully get a deal finalized.
Igor Eronko: Yakovlev: “#NJDevils have scouted me for 3 years. They really wanted to see me in the team. That’s why I chose New Jersey and I’m really happy to join the organization. I know they play a fast smart hockey and I like it.”

Amar Basi: Bob McKenzie on his Bobcast said that info on Adam Mascherin is not coming from his son Mike, who is the GM of the Kitchener Rangers where Mascherin plays.
