Report: Devils looking to trade Marino, Canucks in the mix
The New Jersey Devils are actively looking to move defenseman John Marino, reports Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli.
The Devils also reportedly remain open to moving the 10th overall pick in Friday's first round.
The Vancouver Canucks are among the teams in the mix for Marino, Seravalli adds. Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin confirmed that pending unrestricted free-agent defenseman Nikita Zadorov will head to the open market Monday.
Allvin and Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford both know Marino well from their time with the Pittsburgh Penguins, where Marino spent the first three seasons of his career.
Marino recorded 25 points in 75 games with the Devils in 2023-24 while averaging 20:57 per contest. He isn't overly big or physical, but he's routinely posted strong defensive metrics throughout his five-year NHL career.
The Devils acquired Marino from the Penguins in 2022 for a third-round pick and Ty Smith.
Marino, 27, has three years left on his contract with a $4.4-million cap hit.
Moving Marino would create another hole on the Devils' blue line after the team traded away Kevin Bahl in the Jacob Markstrom deal.
