Saad scored 26 last year and is eager to prove he has plenty left in tank.

“It’s clear the Devils need a finisher, and that’s where Brock Boeser may help. Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects reported yesterday that many teams believe Boeser will be available at this year’s trade deadline, barring a serious turnaround from the Vancouver Canucks. Frank Seravalli has connected Boeser to the Devils in the past, and it would not shock me if they had interest again. Is he a good fit for the Devils at this season’s trade deadline?” [Devils on the Rush ($)]
“(Meghan) Duggan, who is based in Toronto, views her job as dynamic. It changes every day, which she loves. Some days, she’s at the rink with the Devils’ AHL players in Utica, at times getting on the ice herself to work with players. She travels frequently, visiting and communicating with prospects playing at the college and junior level. ‘Ultimately the way I view my role is to really try to support and help maximize the talent of our young prospects and young pros,’ she says.” [The Athletic ($)]
