So, in all, it took Hughes 2 hours and 59 minutes from game\u2019s end in St. Louis to get to his final destination.\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7078328\/2026\/03\/01\/snl-olympic-hockey-hughes-knight-keller\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Athletic<\/a> ($)]<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Can anyone help me understand if this is good:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cWe\u2019re less than a week away from the NHL trade deadline, a time of year that most anticipated the New Jersey Devils to be buyers at. However, given the scope of the season \u2013 the Devils are nearly cemented as a non-playoff team \u2013 it\u2019s likely that New Jersey will be selling. Let\u2019s talk about some names that could be shipped out ahead of the trade deadline:\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/infernalaccess.substack.com\/p\/five-new-jersey-devils-players-who\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Infernal Access<\/a> ($)]<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Kings have fired Jim Hiller:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cDallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin is being ruled out for the rest of the NHL regular season and postseason, which will allow the team to use all of his $9.85 million in salary cap space before next Friday\u2019s trade deadline, an NHL source confirmed on Friday.\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nhl\/story\/_\/id\/48056466\/stars-rule-tyler-seguin-acl-rest-season-source-says\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cFlorida is sitting eight points back of the cutoff line right now, which will force it to make some tough decisions leading up to the trade deadline. If the Panthers were to get in, they would certainly still be threatening, especially if Barkov returns, but to spend assets at the deadline in a season that may be too far gone doesn\u2019t make a lot of sense. Instead, the Panthers could use this as an opportunity to reload for what will no doubt be a much more competitive and healthier team next year.\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/nhl\/article\/sunday-overreactions-should-panthers-trade-sergei-bobrovsky-before-deadline\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sportsnet<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A wild moment in Saturday\u2019s UConn-UMass game:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Feel free to discuss these and any other hockey-related stories in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here are your links for today: The losing streak is snapped: Goals from Timo Meier, Dougie Hamilton and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":480742,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5109],"tags":[201,26250,5,576,151,5185,5184,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-480741","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-jersey-devils","8":"tag-devils","9":"tag-devils-in-the-details","10":"tag-hockey","11":"tag-new-jersey","12":"tag-new-jersey-devils","13":"tag-newjersey","14":"tag-newjerseydevils","15":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116159526029811704","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=480741"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480741\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/480742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=480741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=480741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=480741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
