Why would New Jersey be the target? Gaudreau grew up in Cherry Point, which is actually a suburb of Philadelphia. Cherry Point is 9 miles from Philly, so it is more likely he has an affinity to the Flyers than the Devils. If you're looking for teams in proximity to Cherry Point, East Rutherford is 90 miles away, the same as New York (both the Rangers and the Islanders). Washington is 148 miles away. All of those teams are within 2.5 hours of where he grew up, and could be likely destinations. Personally, the two that make the most sense for a deal are Philadelphia and the Rangers. Both have good assets, and could be hungry for a local star.
