Trent Frederic is another Bruin who could make sense for the Devils. The 2016 first-round pick is a pending unrestricted free agent, and he is a prime trade candidate because of it. In 47 games this season, the 6-foot-3 forward has seven goals, 14 points, and 132 hits.

The rumors originated from Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, who reported on the "Donnie and Dhali" show that the Devils were among the teams expressing interest in Miller. On top of linking the Devils to Miller in a potential deadline trade, Dhaliwal also noted that the New York Rangers remain heavily interested in the Canucks center.
