The New Jersey Devils are looking for a center
TSN: Darren Dreger said the New Jersey Devils are getting defenseman Brett Pesce back, and forward Jack Hughes isn’t far behind. Nevertheless, the Devils are looking for a centerman and a defenseman.
“They feel like Dawson Mercer is a natural winger. He has played winger lately, but maybe they can put him there full-time if they can bring in a centreman.”
There are a lot of teams in the market for a center, so Fitzgerald has a long hunt ahead of him.”
NHL Rumors: Blue Jackets, Devils, and the Stars
Dan Rosen of NHL.com: (mailbag) The Devils need a reliable third-line center who can win faceoffs, kill penalties and provide some offense. Nashville Predators Ryan O’Reilly?
With Brett Pesce set to return to the lineup, saying goodbye to Dougie Hamilton will be a little easier if they can move him. For depth he will have to acquire a defender from the bottom six. They have the forward depth to trade Ondrej Palat.
Will the Buffalo Sabers now feel comfortable with Alex Tuch for $10 million or more?
TSN: Pending UFA forward Alex Tuch will be the priority for newly anointed Buffalo Sabers GM Jarmo Kekalainen, and by Pierre LeBrun’s understanding, the Sabers previously did not want to spend $10 million or more on an extension.
“Kekäläinen is absolutely keen to get talks back on track with the Bartlett family, with Brian Bartlett representing Alex Tuch.

I should note that Kekäläinen had a pretty good idea of what his predecessor, Kevyn Adams, was talking about with the Bartletts, so he’s not starting over here.”
