“I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility at all that Devils’ GM Tom Fitzgerald attempts to make a trade for the eldest Hughes brother this off-season — why waste another year of Jack’s prime? Quinn is arguably the best defenseman in the league and is under contract for a ridiculously team-friendly $7.85 million. Add to the equation the facts that the Devils as a team are just now entering their true Cup contention window, that Luke is just now entering his prime, and that Vancouver no longer has any leverage. So, what would the Devils have to give up to complete their collection?” [Devils’ Advocates]

“Crown attorney Heather Donkers made opening statements on Wednesday in Ontario Superior Court in the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial, outlining what she described as a ‘roadmap’ about the events of the June 2018 night in question and advising that the case comes down to the issue of consent.” [The Athletic ($)]
“The Avs captain (Gabe Landeskog), who hadn’t played in nearly three years due to issues with his right knee, made his NHL comeback in Game 3 of the Avalanche’s first-round series against the Dallas Stars at Ball Arena.” [The Denver Post]
Why are some playoff games being called from a studio? “It wasn’t a first for an NHL postseason game on TNT or TBS. And it won’t be the last. A Turner Sports source briefed on the networks’ plans said Wednesday that three additional first-round games — Games 3 and 4 between the Los Angeles Kings and Edmonton Oilers and Game 4 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators — will feature off-site broadcasters. A broadcast reporter will be at those games, the source said.” [The Athletic ($)]
