Nichols’ Notes: Devils Cheeky Comments; Canucks Listening on Trade

The word is out on the Vancouver Canucks. They’re listening on trade offers. What does that mean for Quinn Hughes? And could it have implications on the New Jersey Devils? More from Elliotte Friedman in the links below.

To the ice, that game last night looked more like Monday Night Raw. It was fun, and the Devils stood their ground. It was good to see, amid claiming two points.

Read up on comments made in the locker room following the emotional tilt.

Elsewhere, a Philadelphia Flyers trade (kind of), another Pittsburgh rookie, and growth in San Jose.

Let’s do that hockey.

Devils Trade Rumors & News

New Jersey Hockey Now: The Devils defeated the Detroit Red Wings in regulation to snap a three-game losing streak amid a physical battle. But, it was the comment made by Jonas Siegenthaler after the post-final buzzer chaos that put the cherry on top of an entertaining Monday night.

More NJHN: Certainly, it was good news to see Cody Glass back on the ice. It will undoubtedly help the Devils’ depleted center depth.

Even More: Some news in the good guy department. Ex-Devils defenseman, Brendan Smith, is back in the Metropolitan Division after signing a contract with a rival squad.

Devils Rink Report: As Ryan Novozinsky and I discussed on the last Devils Rink Report, the Devils found out amid injuries that they perhaps don’t have the proper depth on the blueline. It’s nice to have a plethora of NHL-ready bodies, but too much of the same thing is never good. We talked here 👇🏼 about the need for another stay at home defender.
