On Tarasenko: Rumors galore! Let the best Metropolitan team win this trade with St. Louis….at the right price. If I were Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald, I would not mortgage the Devils future nor would I allow other rival teams to get Tarasenko that easily by driving up the price. The Devils are in the best position here. They have the leverage and would expect Martin Brodeur to be advising behind the scenes.
Promotion: Devils have promoted Mark Dennehy to Chief Scout, Amateur Scouting from his previous role as head coach of the Binghamton Devils. Dennehy was very good coach that oversaw the development of current Devils: Sharangovich, McLeod, Boqvist, Kuokannen, Bahl, and Foote.
Sharangovich Re-signs: Yegor is back! $2M AAV / $4M total / 2 Year Contract.
