Talking Red takes a break from its summer break this week to discuss some big Devils news that broke on Thursday. Unfortunately, that news was bad, with the team announcing that Travis Zajac would be out four to six months recovering from a torn pectoral muscle. Dave and I discussed what this means for the team and how the Devils might try to deal with losing arguably their top center and best defensive forward. We went through which players might be called on to step into the void and which young Devils might be leaned on more heavily. Later in the podcast, we also talk about newly available NCAA free agents, including the Devils loss of prospect Alex Kerfoot and their pursuit of Will Butcher and Blaine Byron. Towards the end we wrap up with a couple listener questions.
