The Devils continue to load up on talent. 

One day after selecting Jack Hughes first overall in the NHL Draft, the Devils acquired defenseman P.K. Subban in a trade with the Nasvhille Predators, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN. 

The Devils will send defensemen Jeremy Davis and Steven Santini, plus a 2019 second-round pick and 2020 second-round pick to Nashville. 

Subban, 30, is a six-time All-Star and 10-year veteran who has 98 goals and 310 assists for 408 career points with the Montreal Canadiens and Predators. 

Subban helped lead the Predators to their first Stanley Cup Final appearance in 2016-17, but fell to the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games. 

Subban has three years remaining on his contract and is paid an annual average of $9 million per year, making him the highest-paid player on the Devils.
