The New Jersey Devils have been tied to St. Louis Blues sniper Vladimir Tarasenko for most of the offseason. It’s possible he’s been on his no-trade clause, but after the signing of Dougie Hamilton, the Devils might look a little different in the Russian’s eyes. It’s clear the Devils are looking to shed years of failure as Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes get closer to their primes.
Tarasenko isn’t exactly the guarantee he was two seasons ago.
