Four Moves the New Jersey Devils Need to Make Before New Year’s Day
By Tyler Kelley
Trade Taylor Hall
We officially know the Devils are listening to teams offers for former Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall and they need to pull the trigger sooner rather than later. According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, the Devils are looking for either two 1st round picks or a high-end prospect and a pick.
Hearing that the Devils have started to listen from teams on Taylor Hall. Doesn't mean they will for sure trade him but given their place in the standings and the magnitude of a potential deal, GM Ray Shero is now in listening mode...

Rumors have swirled about the currently involved teams. The Colorado Avalanche seem like the most likely destination if you look at all the facts right now. The odds of the Devils being able to pry away Bowen Byram seem pretty low, but the Devils should be shooting for the stars, pun intended.
Montreal Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin may be getting a little desperate in Quebec, which could be something Ray Shero can take advantage of. The Canadiens have a decent prospect pool, headlined by Jack Hughes’ former teammate Cole Caufield.
