GOAL HEADING INTO DEADLINE:  Improve heading into a playoff run, perhaps find a place for Martin Brodeur

WHAT THEY DID:

• Dealt Andrei Loktionov and a conditional 3rd rd pick to Carolina of Tuomo Ruutu

WIN/LOSE/DRAW?: Brodeur is still a Devil, and rightly so.  Ruutu is an oft injured player who isn’t very quick and the Devils needed to add speed.  DRAW
