If it looks like New Jersey Devils general manager Sunny Mehta is always calm, cool, and collected, it’s because he certainly is.
That’s why in my interview with him earlier this week, he was certainly unfazed by what the masses are concerned with. One of those things many are concerned with is Anthony Mantha’s injury history. I got to the bottom of Mehta’s thought process on that in the links below.
Also below, our Daniel Amoia spells out Mehta’s refreshing approach to revamp the Utica Comets.
Elsewhere, why the Hawks overpaid on Patrick Kane, Connor Bedard speaks on the potential of an offer sheet, and John Tortorella speaks.
