OTHL --- Last season David Legwand played a big part during the Devils cup run. Legwand tied Slava Kozlov for the team lead in points (15) during the playoffs, and he finished second in team scoring during the regular season (65). This season tings have been a bit slower for both New Jersey and for David Legwand. And while he is still looking to top his 24 goals from last season, his points total has gone down. Right now Legwand has scored 41 points in 72 games.
So the New Jersey Devils decided to trade David Legwand to Los Angeles in exchange for Chris Kelly and Oleg Saprykin. Two players who has not really done much damage during the regular season. Saprykin has played 66 games with 8 points and a -12 record to show for it. While Chris Kelly has played 11 games so far in his rookie season, without any points to date.
So now the question is, will the Devils, who are close to the $50 million dollar cap. Do any more moves before the deadline on Monday. Or will they sit happy with the team they have and hope that its enough to get them to the playoffs?
