The New Jersey Devils got the ball rolling on Wednesday's crazy NHL trade day by selecting Jacob Markstrom. But their work is not over yet, as they are now looking for a left-handed defender.
This is what Mathias Brunet revealed to BPM Sports on Wednesday afternoon.
Would you be willing to trade a young Canadian defenseman to the New Jersey Devils? If yes, which one?🤔

In fact, Brunet also linked this demand for a left-handed outfielder to the abundance of that type of player in the Canadiens organization.
New Jersey has the 10th overall pick in the upcoming draft and could be tempted to trade him if the trade offer is good. The Canadiens have a group of left-handed defensemen that they could try to make a play for.
Brunet even predicted a deal could happen between the Devils and the Canadian. It saw the Habs send Mike Matheson and another secondary to New Jersey in exchange for the 10th overall pick.
It's not certain that such a deal would interest the Devils, but as Brunet says: “I hope New Jersey bites.” »
Do the Devils really want an offensive defenseman on their current roster?
They already have Luke Hughes and Dougie Hamilton as their best defensive duo, and both players possess excellent attacking skills. Maybe it's a little more of the defensive and physical play New Jersey is looking for.
If the Devils are interested in acquiring Matheson, but require something extra, the Canadiens would likely have to give up the Winnipeg Jets pick or a second-round pick.
To get the 10th overall pick in a talent-laden draft, it could be a very good risk!
However, there were only so many events for one day at the moment. I think the Devils will wait a bit before making another trade.
