Trent Frederic is another Bruin who could make sense for the Devils. The 2016 first-round pick is a pending unrestricted free agent, and he is a prime trade candidate because of it. In 47 games this season, the 6-foot-3 forward has seven goals, 14 points, and 132 hits.

Rumors are abuzz that the New Jersey Devils could have an interest in pursuing Stanley Cup Champion Ryan O'Reilly come trade deadline time per Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic. The Devils are looking to bulk up down the middle as they prepare for a lengthy playoff run and O'Reilly is a player that the Nashville Predators could potentially be looking to deal.

The rumors originated from Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, who reported on the "Donnie and Dhali" show that the Devils were among the teams expressing interest in Miller. On top of linking the Devils to Miller in a potential deadline trade, Dhaliwal also noted that the New York Rangers remain heavily interested in the Canucks center.

The Canadiens want to keep Jake Evans but the Devils want to bring the forward in at the trade deadline in March.
