The New Jersey Devils made the first move in what is expected to be a goalie frenzy this offseason. Last week, the New Jersey Devils traded a 2025 protected first-round pick and 23-year-old defenseman Kevin Bahl for Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom. It was a decent deal for both sides, with the Devils budging a little for a player who pretty much made it clear he wanted to come to NJ.

Then, it became clear the floodgates were about to burst. With that said, we’ve seen two huge goalie deals since then. The Darcy Kuemper for Pierre Luc-Dubois swap seemed like an entirely different type of deal (two teams trying to get off bad contracts), but it was the deal that happened on Monday night that has some Devils fans wondering what happened.
