Jonas Siegenthaler injury could push the New Jersey Devils into this prominent trade piece

Nick Villano of Pucks and Pitchforks argues that a potential long-term injury to defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler should prompt the New Jersey Devils to pursue a trade for Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson. Siegenthaler was injured following a hard collision into the boards during New Jersey's matchup against the Utah Mammoth, compounding existing defensive injuries to Johnny Kovacevic and Seamus Casey.

Villano suggests the Devils consider packaging Brenden Dillon and Dawson Mercer to accommodate Edvinsson's potential salary demands. The writer also contends that acquiring Edvinsson could provide New Jersey with valuable future leverage if the team pursues Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes down the line.
