The Vegas Golden Knights have emerged as the champions of the 2023 Stanley Cup. With the offseason now in full swing and free agency underway, all 32 NHL general managers are actively seeking ways to position their teams for a chance at raising the revered trophy next June.
There are several avenues for achieving this goal: free agency, the draft, and trades among fellow general managers. Below, I have gathered all the trades so far. However, I have also highlighted the trade that I believe stands out as the most interesting, which will provide the Devils with an offensive weapon they have been lacking.
