Connor Hellebuyck is heading to New Jersey, but does his arrival put the Devils among the Eastern Conference's elite? We debate where New Jersey stands after the blockbuster move, what else the team needs to become a legitimate Stanley Cup contender, and what grade Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff deserves for the trade.
We also discuss Hellebuyck's comments about the appeal of playing in a market with more anonymity, and why hockey players may value privacy differently than athletes in other major sports.
Plus, the Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets earn our Duo of the Weekend after bringing great jerseys and energy to the Heritage Classic, and we discuss the Nikishin situation coming to an end in #AskDFO.
