For years, we’ve been saying that the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New Jersey Devils are perfect matches for a trade, since the Devils had some NHL talent they needed to ship out and the Penguins had players former GM Ray Shero actually drafted. That never actually happened, outside of the deal that brought Beau Bennett here. Maybe it was because Shero never wanted to be looked at as a “loser” to the man who replaced him and won two Stanley Cups in his absence.
Shero wasn’t the only former Penguins front office rep that came to the Devils.
