Devils Get Calls On Luke Hughes As One Team Keeps Close Watch

New Jersey is hearing trade interest on Luke Hughes, and that alone is enough to make the rest of the league lean forward. Young defensemen with real upside do not come up often, which is why rival clubs tend to circle the situation fast and quietly. One team is already watching this one very closely, which tells you the chatter is not just background noise. The Devils now have a decision point that can shape both their short-term lineup and their long-term blue line.
