Devils' Winger Shoots Down Canadiens Trade Rumors

A New Jersey winger making $9.5 million is setting the record straight about Montreal's supposed interest in acquiring him. The player claims there was never any formal offer on the table, despite reports suggesting the Canadiens were circling. This kind of public clarification usually means either the Devils shut down talks quickly or the whole thing was overblown from the start. Either way, it's a reminder that not every rumor that hits Twitter actually has legs in the front office.
