It looks like this Friday could be a boom or bust day for the New Jersey Devils. You come to a general English class. You're in a weird situation where they know the roster – or at least the core – has massively underachieved this year. To be frank, they should have been in the playoffs. So what do they do? Are they in a sellers' market? Or are they already adjusting to the transformative heat. Probably, they don't do anything.

In Link, six players could move out and where they could land.
Elsewhere, there will be plenty of discussion on NHL trade leading up to Friday.
Let's do that hockey.
