Mandatory Credit: Tom Horak-USA TODAY Sports - Devils Acquire 4th Round Pick in Three-Way Deal With Flames & StarsThe New Jersey Devils made a deal with the Calgary Flames, but it is not the transaction fans were hoping for.
The organization was involved in a three-way deal with the Dallas Stars and Flames that had New Jersey acquire Dallas's fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft "for facilitating an existing trade between the Stars and Flames for Chris Tanev."
Per the official press release, "To receive the pick, New Jersey trades the rights to unsigned draft choice goaltender Cole Brady, the club's fifth-round selection, 127th overall, in the 2019 NHL Draft to Calgary and have agreed to retain 50% of all future obligations to Tanev's contract for the 2023-24 season."
The Flames then traded Brady to the Stars.
The 23-year-old goaltender has made nine appearances with UMass this season, earning a 4-2-2 record with a 3.04 goals-against average and .886 save percentage.
