Hey there! As a huge hockey fan, I can't help but feel for the New Jersey Devils right now. Their top-six is absolutely electric with players like Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt lighting it up, but the struggles of the bottom-six are really holding them back. It's frustrating to see such talent not being fully utilized because of a lack of depth scoring.

The veterans need to step up big time! Tomas Tatar snapping his goalless streak is a good sign, but he and others like Curtis Lazar and Erik Haula need to find their rhythm if the Devils want to make a serious playoff push. The numbers are alarming, and it’s clear that the team can't rely solely on their top players to carry the load.

I think making a trade before the deadline is crucial. Bringing in someone like Jake Evans or Trent Frederic could really bolster that bottom-six and provide the secondary scoring they desperately need. The playoffs are just around the corner, and if they can revamp that depth, they could be a real threat. What do you think? Do you see them making a move soon?
