It is believed, Chere writes, that Maple Leafs general manager Lou Lamoriello is discussing several potential trade scenarios with Devils GM Ray Shero, including centre Nazem Kadri as a potential piece of a trade or a package deal that includes winger James van Riemsdyk.

Zajac is entering the third year of an eight-year, $46 million contract. He has five years and $31.75 million remaining on his deal with a cap hit of $5.75 million.

The Winnipeg native was drafted by Lamoriello's Devils in 2004 with the 20th overall pick and has spent his entire career with the Devils.

Through nine seasons in New Jersey, he's registered 348 points in 625 games. Last season, he scored 11 goals and added 14 assists in 74 games.
