More smoke surrounding the Devils and Canucks: “The New Jersey Devils, the Rangers’ rivals – they have also been a late entrant in this and they have held talks with the Canucks and J.T. Miller. I also think that internally, the Devils are trying to sort of suss out if it makes sense to go all-in on this or not at this point and where they are.” [TSN]
“The Devils are a more recent participant. There are internal questions in New Jersey about whether it makes sense to go all-in. But imagine a world in which you could go Jack Hughes, J.T. Miller and Nico Hischier down the middle.” [The Athletic ($)]
“After scoring just one goal on Anton Forsberg – who entered play having conceded at least three in eight straight games – the Devils moved into last place in goals scored during this 11-game dry spell. Yes, last place. The Devils have scored a league-low 20 goals over the past 11 games, which helps explain how they’ve accumulated fewer wins than anybody during that span. They simply can’t put the puck in the net.” [Infernal Access ($)]

“The Utah Hockey Club is having issues getting the trademark for its preferred permanent name. It’s no secret that ‘Yetis’ or ‘Yeti’ has long been the favorite to replace the team’s temporary ‘Hockey Club’ moniker — with everyone from management and players hinting at it as early as last summer. But there could be a snag. Namely, YETI is already a pretty big brand.” [KSL News]
