Latest news and updates about the Devils
Star defenseman Quinn Hughes said he might sign a contract extension with the Minnesota Wild "soon" rather than test free agency and gain the opportunity to join his brothers and Team USA teammate Connor Hellebuyck on the New Jersey Devils.
Connor Hellebuyck has been taken off the goalie trade market after his trade to the New Jersey Devils. Here are three netminders who could be next on the trade block.
After acquiring Connor Hellebuyck from Winnipeg, the New Jersey Devils have added Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin to his expanded trade list, according to insider Jeff Marek. While Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald wants to keep the win‑now momentum, insiders say New Jersey may lack the high‑value assets—top prospects and high‑round picks—needed for Detroit’s steep asking price. Detroit reportedly wants two elite prospects, an NHL‑ready top‑six forward, and premium draft capital, while other clubs like Minnesota, Carolina and Colorado also vie for Larkin. The trade’s feasibility hinges on whether the Devils can muster enough pieces after surrendering Dawson Mercer and a first‑round pick for Hellebuyck.

The LA Kings head to New Jersey on Oct. 24 seeking a third straight win and a .500 record on a road trip against the Devils. Coach Peter Laviolette’s lineups hinge on center Quinton Byfield’s health and goaltender Darcy Kuemper, who just posted a 41‑of‑43 save performance and moved into seventh‑most wins in franchise history. Defense will likely stay unchanged, with Cody Ceci sitting after recent success, while Brandt Clarke’s pairing remains a focus after his overtime winner. The Devils, meanwhile, have just traded for Connor Hellebuyck, leaving Dawson Mercer out of the lineup. Key stats: Artemi Panarin has eight points in his last five games at the Prudential Center.

With Hellebuyck now in New Jersey, goalie Rémi Poirier (age 24) earns an honorable mention after joining on waivers from Dallas, but will age out of next year’s list.

Meanwhile, 19‑year‑old winger Matias Vanhanen, a 2026 draft pick now at Boston College, climbs to #9 after posting four points in four games and a standout junior season.

The New York Islanders were floated as a potential third‑party facilitator in a Connor Hellebuyck trade, but the Winnipeg Jets ultimately dealt the 33‑year‑old goalie directly to the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 23. Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff lamented the difficulty of moving a goaltender with Hellebuyck’s $8.5 M cap hit and no‑move clause. New Jersey received Hellebuyck, while Winnipeg acquired forwards Dawson Mercer and Nick Bjugstad, goalie Nico Daws, prospect Alexander Command, a 2029 second‑round pick and a 2027 seventh‑round pick. The Islanders, sitting 5‑3‑2, were only considered as a salary‑absorbing broker. Hellebuyck returns to Winnipeg on Nov. 10 when the Jets host the Devils.

The Jets’ trade of Connor Hellebuyck to the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 23 reshapes Detroit’s pursuit of Dylan Larkin. Larkin, who expanded his approved destinations to ten teams—including New Jersey—faces a market where the Devils have already sunk cap space and assets (forward Dawson Mercer, Nick Bjugstad, goalie Nico Daws, a prospect and two mid‑round picks) for Hellebuyck’s $8.5 M/yr deal. Detroit wants NHL‑ready players now, not just prospects, and must balance Larkin’s $8.7 M cap hit and his no‑trade clause. While Minnesota remains the most active suitor, the Hellebuyck transaction limits New Jersey’s trade capital, potentially narrowing Larkin’s options. The article breaks down the trade details, betting‑market shifts, and why Larkin’s move remains complex.
