Jake Allen was acquired by the New Jersey Devils at the trade deadline. It seemed like the Montreal Canadiens were done with him which is why they retained 50% of his salary. He found new life with the Devils. One could make an argument that he and Jesper Bratt were the MVPs of the team. Because Allen was one of the main reasons why the Devils kept afloat in the Wild Card standings.

Pierre LeBrun recently spoke with Tom Fitzgerald about his offseason plans. Fitzy is still adamant about acquiring a goalie. A couple of names that have emerged are Jacob Markstrom and Linus Ullmark. Both of them have solid track histories, but one might be cheaper than the other. The 10th overall pick might come into play during negotiations.

Mike Morreale (NHL.com) recently published an article centered around a conversation he had with general manager, Tom Fitzgerald. The New Jersey Devils will have the 10th overall pick in this year's NHL Draft, and Fitzy said that he's open to trading it away. Obviously, one of the main priorities is for the Devils to get a goalie. There's no guarantee that the pick will be traded. But, it's still good indemnity to have in a trade.
