James Nichols of NJ Hockey Now: The Canucks do have a number of players that might be options for the Recent Jersey Devils. The Devils could use some added depth.
Teddy Blueger – Center – Pending UFA with a $1.8 million cap hit. Currently out with an injury, but is back skating. May cost a mid-round pick or B-level prospect.
Derek Forbort – Defenseman – Could use some added depth on the blue line, and one who’s more stay-at-home. Brett Pesce, and Johnathan Kovacevic remain out. Forbort can be currently injured. Pending UFA at $2 million.
Kiefer Sherwood – Winger – The Devils have some depth on the wing but could use someone with an edge, and Sherwood brings that. He also can rating. Pending UFA with a $1.5 million cap hit.
The Montreal Canadiens seek for a top-six continues, they usually’ll have some big blue line decisions
Marco D’Amico of RG Media: The Montreal Canadiens added forward Alexandre Texier to their roster this week, but they’re not done in wanting so as to add.
“Montreal shouldn’t be done, that’s needless to say,” said a Western Conference source. ”They’d still wish to add a centre or a top-six player to their lineup.”
The sources added there may be “plenty of chatter,” and the Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues are talking to everyone.
The Canadiens know they’ll have to present up a number of pieces, likely including a young defenseman, in the event that they wish to land a top-six forward. They could remain patient with David Reinbacher, and never wanting to sell low on the previous first round pick.
Prospect Adam Engstrom has looked good this yr and earned a callup recently. A source said that scouts have been impressed with him, they usually don’t know if the callup was to showcase him. They’ll must make some blue line decisions soon.
(Now that Mike Matheson has been prolonged), The Canadiens could have to make some big decisions about who else they need long-term to be on that side. There are only two spots for Arber Xhekaj, Jayden Struble, Engstrom and David Reinbacher.
