NHL: Devs deal for Sharks D-man

The Devils acquired defenseman Mirco Mueller from the Sharks. San Jose got a second-round pick, 49th overall, and a fourth-round pick, 123rd overall. The Sharks also sent their fifth-round pick, 143rd overall, to New Jersey. The teams completed the deal just before the NHL’s trade freeze for the Vegas expansion draft.

The Coyotes traded longtime starting goaltender Mike Smith to the Flames for a conditional 2018 third-round pick, defensive prospect Brandon Hickey and the rights to unrestricted free-agent goalie Chad Johnson.
