Devils Rumors: Former Team Reigniting Interest In Tyler Toffoli

Despite initial reluctance from New Jersey Devils' GM Tom Fitzgerald to entertain trade offers for Tyler Toffoli, recent reports reveal a renewed interest from the Los Angeles Kings in acquiring the winger.

Toffoli, a former King who spent the first eight seasons of his career in Los Angeles, has once again caught the attention of his former team.

The Kings, dealing with injuries to key players like forward Adrian Kempe, see Toffoli as a valuable asset to bolster their lineup for a playoff push.

Despite ongoing discussions about a potential contract extension with the Devils, Toffoli's future remains uncertain as trade rumors swirl.

Toffoli spent the first eight seasons of his NHL career with the Kings, amassing 139 goals, 151 assists, and 290 total points over 515 games played.

The Toffoli situation best I understand:

-#NJDevils want 3-4 year extension, player wants 5-6.

If both sides can’t come to an agreement at least on term, team feels it they’ll need to deal him for assets. https://t.co/2yZSkZ5tB9

The Kings, who are keen on reuniting with the skilled forward, have expressed their interest in Toffoli should he become available before the trade deadline.

This season, the 31-year-old has 26 goals and 44 total points across 61 games played.

As Friday's deadline draws nearer, it will be interesting to see where Toffoli will land.  Photo Credit:  John Jones-USA TODAY Sports
