The biggest Devils question we’re probably going to be asking ourselves over the next few months: “The Devils could use a new goalie. Who could they target this coming offseason?” [The Athletic ($)]
Piece here on the development of Devils 2021 3rd round draft pick Samu Salminen. “He has been learning a lot and he’s getting better every day. And he’s not like a Jack Hughes who can dangle everyone and score a goal but he’s good at scoring points in other ways. He’s good at making plays, getting his own looks, finding other players, and making players around him better.” [The Athletic ($)]

News from the GM meetings:
Bill Daly says the league has talked to the NHLPA about changing the way no-trade lists are registered. The idea will be to copy both Central Registry and the NHLPA with the no trade list information. This is in lieu of the Dadonov situation from last week.

GMs agreed to have further dialogue on the LTIR/playoff cap idea at the next meeting in Montreal at the draft in July. The NHL has already had discussions with the NHLPA about LTIR. Doesn’t necessarily mean anything will change, but it’s an ongoing dialogue.
