St. Louis Blues roster decision has everyone looking at the New Jersey Devils
St Louis Blues v New Jersey Devils | Elsa/GettyImagesThe New Jersey Devils are looking to do a few things this season. They obviously want to stay in contention all season long. They want to get some of their younger players, like Luke Hughes, Simon Nemec, and Dawson Mercer, getting closer to their prime abilities. However, one thing that might come sooner rather than later is a trade to upgrade the roster.
We know that GM Tom Fitzgerald has been trying to make moves to upgrade this roster, but the right pieces didn’t become available. He also doesn’t have the cap space to make certain moves work. Luke Hughes signed for $9 million when the Devils don’t have $9 million in cap space.
