As the NHL trade deadline approaches, rumors surrounding Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller have been heating up. However, New Jersey Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald has firmly denied reports linking his team to the star center.

Rumors are abuzz that the New Jersey Devils could have an interest in pursuing Stanley Cup Champion Ryan O'Reilly come trade deadline time per Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic.

Over the last little while, the New Jersey Devils weaknesses have exposed themselves. It’s not unlike anything we’ve already mentioned before. The Devils need depth scoring, and they need it as soon as possible.
