The New Jersey Devils acquired PK Subban from the Nashville Predators on Saturday in exchange for Steven Santini, Jeremy Davies and a pair of draft picks. Subban was thought to be on the trade block because of his $9m salary cap hit for each of the next three seasons. But it’s a fit for the Devils, who are expected to have more than $30m in cap space. After becoming a star in Montreal, Subban was dealt to Nashville in June 2016 and helped the Predators to the Stanley Cup finals in his first season. Davies was a seventh-round pick of the Devils in the 2016 draft but instead went to college and spent the last three seasons playing for Northeastern.
