2 Penguins Superstars That The New Jersey Devils Should Consider

The New Jersey Devils should consider adding someone like Evgeni Malkin.

The New Jersey Devils are a team that has a lot of talent at the forward position. Now, they could use a veteran to help them all reach their potential. Evgeni Malkin is someone that has done it all in his NHL career and is probably a top-20 player who ever lived.

If he came to this team, he would provide so much value. He missed half of the 2021-22 season because of an offseason surgery, but he was sensational when he returned. He might not be the 100-point guy that he once was, but his 20 goals and 22 assists for over a point per game played was really nice.

He is someone who has spent most of his career playing center. If he came to New Jersey, playing center would mean that they run Hughes, Hischier, and Malkin as a 1-2-3 punch. However, being on the same team as Sidney Crosby meant that he could play wing in desperate times along with on the power play.

In fact, he would even play the point on the power play along with one of their true defenseman because of his ability to move the puck and take big shots. In addition to these skills, he has won the Stanley Cup three times and has also won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the playoffs. Adding a leader like this would really help the New Jersey Devils out.
