NHL Trade Rumors: Will Ilya Kovalchuk's Injury Lead to a New Jersey Devils Deal?

According to Tom Gulitti, Ilya Kovalchuk’s MRI today showed no added accident to his afflicted accept and the accompaniment is accepted to absence 2-4 weeks.

Best case scenario, Kovalchuk misses two weeks and potentially allotment on either April 10 or April 12. Worst case, which seems to be the way injuries accept gone for the Devils this year, Kovalchuk could alone be advantageous for the final two amateur of the season.

With assorted players banged up and the aggregation captivation assimilate a playoff atom by alone four points, is it time for GM Lou Lamoriello to accomplish a move?

The Devils afresh acquired Matt D’Agostini from the St. Louis Blues for a codicillary abstract aces and he is accepted to alter Kovalchuk for the time being. However, D’Agostini was alone projected as a third line, possibly second-line addition for the butt of the division and isn’t absolutely apparent as a top-six forward.

The barter bazaar is starting to abound attenuate as the borderline approaches, as Corey Perry active an addendum with the Anaheim Ducks and the Dallas Stars traded Brenden Morrow to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The top name on the bazaar appropriate now is Calgary Flames brilliant Jarome Iginla, but he has accustomed a abbreviate account of teams he’d be absorbed in abutting and the Devils are not one of them. While you may never apperceive what could appear at the deadline, Iginla seems to be searching for a big bazaar with a adventitious to win.

A name that comes to apperception for the Devils is Jaromir Jagr. While abacus addition crumbling adept to the league’s oldest aggregation may assume ridiculous, Jagr has accurate he can still adhere with the league’s best.

Jagr, 41, has 24 credibility in 30 amateur this division including seven goals in 10 amateur this month. He has aswell been baking the accomplished three games, recording one ambition in anniversary bold including the game-winning ambition adjoin Los Angeles endure Thursday.

New Jersey has almost $11 actor in cap space, acceptation they could calmly yield on Jagr’s $4.5 actor for the blow of the season. However, with almost any abstract picks larboard for the 2013 NHL draft, the Devils would accept to barter a amateur for Jagr’s services.

The amateur a lot of calmly adjustable with a barter is Henrik Tallinder, who has alone played in 14 amateur this season. Tallinder is appointed to accomplish $3.5 actor amid this year and next year, acceptation the Devils would absolutely alone yield on an added $1 actor this season.

Peter Harrold has appear on able amid the playoffs and this division and is alpha to acquire a constant role in the lineup. With 5 added defensemen in the calendar and Mark Fayne aswell able of starting, the Devils could move Tallinder for Jagr if necessary.

Granted, the Devils would acceptable accept to bandy in addition adolescent advanced for the Stars to accept any absorption in this trade, but if New Jersey wants to accumulate their playoff hopes alive, they are traveling to charge to acquisition a accompaniment to alter the afflicted Kovalchuk appropriate away.

Jagr has the playoff acquaintance and still has the accomplishment to attempt as a top-six forward, and if the Devils can somehow acreage him, their breach will get a lot added complex.

While players like Travis Zajac, Patrik Elias, and David Clarkson are accomplished abundant to backpack a team, they could use addition ambition scorer to accumulate clip with the East’s best.

The Penguins and Rangers accept both been active this week, so maybe it’s time for the Devils to get complex with the market.
