Speculation: Jack Hughes Possibly Out Long Term. Who Can Devils Bring In For Now?

[Mr Kot]

Hughes had an absolutely nasty injury. No word yet on how bad it is, but assuming he is out long term, can Devils bring in someone who can at least act as a stopgap? Trade deadline is very close and this could be a scramble to get something going. Who could possibly be out there right now?

Ross Colton?

$4m AAV signed for 2 more years after this one.

Full NMC this season, but would probably waive for his hometown New Jersey Devils.

Kyrou has never played center in the NHL.

Jack Hughes is a center.

Kyrou has never played center in the NHL.

Jack Hughes is a center.

Keefe can convert him into Center especially paying with New Jersey’s wingers

You don’t see that?

Yeah colton would be a nice add.

Just need to maybe salvage the season, they have been struggling with Hughes, gonna be worse without some replacement. I don't think devils management wants another season out of the playoffs.

I don’t think that’s a smart idea, but then again I don’t believe just anybody can be a good center in the NHL.

O Reilly from Nashville?

Okay now all of a sudden New Jersey is serious about a cup

That's a stupid question. If Jack Hughes is injured, you just trade for another Jack Hughes!

You’re probably right tbh, otherwise the Blues would have tried to make a real push for it

Sometimes I get carried away and think I’m a pro scout lol, though it’s fun to exercise one’s imagination like this. Which is why I love the Trade rumours board the most, it’s also the funniest board.

Have a good one, Roy!

You could have Kevin Hayes for a song.

Gourde if you don't want commitment.

Asking the Devil for a song means you gotta dance

Yup. A coming ufa as a rental.

ROR makes the most sense out of the names listed but still not sure where I stand as a Devils fan with buying with this team. I guess it depends on the Jack news and how severe the injury is

You don’t see that?

Keefe coached Nylander for 5 years and couldn't turn him into a center. How exactly do you think he could do any better with a nearly identical player in Kyrou?

Great point! I have thought about it more and realized I was off and i am retracting my earlier take. Appreciate the perspective

Kevin Hayes would be cheap and is surprisingly not awful this year.
