Fans in New Jersey should call Rolston-Zubrus-Clarkson the rumour line.

I still find it hard to believe how bad the Devils have been. On paper their forwards look good.
Nice deal for Backes.

I love the Bloge Salming videos. Check out his past videos if you haven’t already.

The players who are supposed to be at the prime/peak of their NHL career are the ones who are struggling the most. Kovalchuk (27), Zajac (25), Parise (26), and Clarkson (26). I can’t make sense of it.
