Like I said before, it is rumor mill season. No one is safe, not even the most prolific of goal-scorers. Today’s rumor, however, does have a bit of weight to it. The Carolina Hurricanes come up often as Waddell is very active.
Taylor Hall is not extremely keen on signing a contract extension with the New Jersey Devils as he enters the final year of his 7-year, $42M contract. Perhaps Waddell should take a look at a package for the first rounder.
This leaves New Jersey in a bit of an odd spot. With projected first-overall pick Jack Hughes destined to become a Devil, New Jersey has options when it comes to building an offensive core.
