A couple of weeks ago, I discussed whether or not the New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs matched up as trade partners, given the strong connection with Lou Lamoriello. The next stop on my possible trade partner tour has taken me west into Winnipeg, Manitoba, where the Jets call home.
For the first time in decades, the Devils have done a complete overhaul of their front office. After the departures of Lamoriello and longtime scouting director David Conte, Ray Shero has brought in many new faces to complete his front office. Among those new faces are Andre Savard and Claude Noel as professional scouts, with the latter being the Winnipeg Jets’ former head coach.
