Sigh. The Devils dropped a 5-2 loss to the Penguins Thursday night. [Devils NHL<\/a>]<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026It would stand to reason that teams with front office openings would want to emulate the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. There would be curiosity as to how the sausage is made over there. Which is why it\u2019s no surprise, according to league sources, that both the New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs have asked and received permission from the Panthers to speak with assistant general manager Sunny Mehta, whose name has been all the rage of late, especially in the Toronto market. As head of analytics for the Cup champs, his background fits a big part of the profile for both the Devils and Leafs.\u201d [The Athletic<\/a> ($)]<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n \u201cThe search is still in its early stages, and the structure of the front office could change if they split the titles of president of hockey operations and general manager. With that, let\u2019s look at some very early potential candidates that the Devils may interview over the next few weeks to replace Tom Fitzgerald.\u201d [Devils on the Rush<\/a>]<\/p>\n Luke\u2019s season is over:<\/p>\n Hockey Links<\/p>\n Avs have clinched the Presidents\u2019 Trophy:<\/p>\n \u201cAlex Ovechkin will wait until the offseason to decide whether this will be his final season in the NHL, the Washington Capitals captain said in an interview posted by the team on social media.\u201d [NHL.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Ron Francis is out in Seattle:<\/p>\n \u201cWho is the best all-around defenseman in the NHL? There are a lot of contenders for that title this year. Unlike last year, there isn\u2019t one favorite running away with the honors. This is the deepest Norris Trophy field in years, with a special group of defensemen performing with MVP-caliber play.\u201d [The Athletic<\/a> ($)]<\/p>\n 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: Devils Links Sigh.
