We are still a little less than two months away from July 1st. That means we have two months to dream about a future New Jersey Devils lineup that includes Erik Karlsson, Jeff Skinner, Jacob Trouba or Mitch Marner. Now, we’ve seen Ray Shero bring over a superstar before when he traded for Taylor Hall in 2016, but it’s much more likely those top of the market players go somewhere else.
There are some players who will be available this offseason who are clear traps. They are going to make a mint, but will never really deliver on that payment.
