Devils Daily: Gritsyuk Hot, Kucherov Wants Out, Larkin Limbo

Nikita Kucherov requested a trade from the Tampa Bay Lightning after stating he will not re-sign, though general manager Julien BriseBois announced the team has no intention of moving him. Elliotte Friedman reported that the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens are among the teams Kucherov would consider. Meanwhile, the New Jersey Devils sit at 9-5-0 as winger Arseni Gritsyuk continues a strong start with eight goals in 14 games.

Elsewhere across the league, Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin remains suspended with New Jersey on his trade list. Free-agent defenseman Simon Edvinsson has drawn interest from multiple clubs, including Boston, Nashville, St. Louis, San Jose, and Seattle, ahead of a December 1 signing deadline.
