The New Jersey Devils made a trade on Tuesday that ended a rough run for Ondrej Palat. But the Devils got Maxim Tsyplakov back in the trade and are already slotting him in the top six. Now, with Palat out the door, Tsyplakov is going to get a chance to prove himself at the NHL level. If he starts to break through offensively, the Devils could trade him to recoup some assets and acquire even more cap space. Despite the lack of wins from the Devils this season, there is reason for optimism next season.
