The New Jersey Devils stole the headlines again when they traded two draft picks for Nikita Gusev. The player that is considered the best player not playing in the NHL is coming to the NHL. He’s coming to the Devils. The Devils made a big-boy move on Monday, and put their chips on the table.
They already added a TON of talent this offseason. Before adding Gusev, they added Jack Hughes in the NHL Draft, P.K. Subban through trade then Wayne Simmonds in free agency. Now, instead of hoping that Joey Anderson or Nathan Bastian could play above their heads, they just need to develop in the AHL for a future role.
