The New Jersey Devils, on the brink of being a serious Stanley Cup contender, are reportedly in the market to strengthen their goaltending roster.
The Devils have assembled a formidable lineup, featuring elite centers, outstanding wingers, a top-tier defenseman, and a deep prospect pool. However, their Achilles' heel has been inconsistent goaltending, an issue they're now looking to address.
According to NHL Trade Rumours, three goalies are currently topping the Devils' interest list: Stanley Cup champion Jake Allen, the promising Carter Hart, and Yaroslav Askarov, a former 11th overall pick.
Acquiring any of these goalies would represent a significant upgrade for the Devils. The cost of such an upgrade will be substantial, but the necessity of this move for the team's Stanley Cup ambitions makes it a compelling consideration.
