In Defense of Dawson Mercer

With July winding down, the New Jersey Devils look more or less set for the upcoming season. Still, some Devils fans who seem to have forgotten that Tom Fitzgerald has been replaced by Sunny Mehta continue to wait for a Dougie Hamilton trade, and some are still expecting that Dawson Mercer is going to be […]

Meet A.J. MacLean: Keefe Brings in One of His Guys

Last week I introduced Ted Donato, and today I wanted to touch on the other skater group bench coach, AJ MacLean who joins the Devils after a successful run in the OHL and AHL. Background and Playing Career MacLean, 42, was born on August 31, 1983, in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, and is the son of […]

Devils in the Details – 7/24/26: Sunny Talks Edition

Here are your links for today: Devils Links Sunny Mehta sits down for a couple longer interviews: “Mehta wasn’t giving away any state secrets, but he had some interesting things to say during the two sit-downs. It was refreshing and offered a perspective into how he and his front office have approached this offseason. Here […]

Are There Any Contract Extension Candidates on the Devils?

About a year ago, I wrote an article pondering whether or not the Devils should consider extending then-goaltender Jacob Markstrom. You can go back and read it at the link above if you so choose, but to summarize, my takeaway at the time was why rush into a deal. Take a wait and see approach […]

Devils in the Details – 7/22/26: Roster Crunch Edition

Here are your links for today: Devils Links The Devils appear to be headed toward a roster crunch: “They have 15 players who have either spent real time playing an everyday role at the NHL level, or players who require waivers to be sent down. Let’s take a rough look at the depth chart to […]

Anthony Mantha Vs. The Metropolitan Division

Last week, Sunny Mehta and the New Jersey Devils made a fairly big free agency splash. Desperate for a top six winger, the team signed Anthony Mantha to a two-year, $4.75M AAV contract. Coming off a career year with 33 goals and 64 points, the hope is that Mantha can be the top scoring winger […]

Devils in the Details – 7/20/26: AHL Focus Edition

Here are your links for today: Devils Links “Based on (Anthony Mantha’s) production last season, he should slide into a top-six role. That changes the outlook of the Devils’ roster, at least up front, and it could affect other players’ places in the lineup.” [Devils on the Rush ($)] “Change hit the New Jersey Devils […]

Are The Devils Done for the Off-Season?

I had a magnificently written blog in the works (trust me, bro) prior to the Mantha singing regarding what could be next for the Devils, but with $4.75 now claimed on the books, my primary thesis had to get ripped up and re-written. However, the main crux still exists – I still think there is […]

Meet Ted Donato: From Harvard to New Jersey

Wednesday was a busy day for the greatest state in the union, as the Devils added Anthony Mantha to the forward group and added several new faces to the coaching ranks. The biggest “name” guy of the group is Ted Donato, so let’s meet one of the new bench bosses and what he brings to […]

Devils in the Details – 7/17/26: Scheduling Edition

Here are your links for today: Devils Links Anthony Mantha is a Devil: “Mantha is coming off a career season with the Pittsburgh Penguins, totaling 33 goals and 64 points in 81 games. He is due to regress from those numbers, but he should still be a productive winger for the Devils. Let’s look at […]

The 2026-27 New Jersey Devils Schedule: Not Too Friendly to Home Fans

This afternoon, teams around the National Hockey League released their 2026-27 schedules in unison. The New Jersey Devils released a mini-production starring Ken Daneyko and Rachel Herzog (which was actually pretty good), but it was a little short on the details. With a short glimpse, you might only see that the Devils have an oddly […]

New Jersey Devils Sign Anthony Mantha to Two-Year, $4.75M Contract

Well, well: for those Devils fans who were already (foolishly) spouting that the Devils were going to be “rolling out the same roster as usual,” he has made a big signing in free agency after all. Anthony Mantha, coming off a 33-goal, 34-assist season with the Pittsburgh Penguins, has signed with the New Jersey Devils […]

The Devils Have More Flexibility, But Are They Actually Better?

Prior to the Devils hiring Sunny Mehta as general manager, I compiled a list of the pressing matters that needed to be tended to before the incoming GM could actually get to work and try to improve this hockey team. By now, most of those things have indeed been tended to. The Devils are retaining […]

Devils in the Details – 7/15/26: Meat on the Bone Edition

Here are your links for today: Devils Links “New Jersey Devils GM Sunny Mehta has been extremely active in his first off-season managing the team. While the roster is cheaper, deeper, and there are plenty of bodies to fill out a 23-man squad, it still feels like there is meat on the bone as far […]

Devils in the Details – 7/13/26: Projecting Edition

Here are your links for today: Devils Links “The New Jersey Devils have needed a top six forward addition for quite some time. Who could possibly be available after a busy first month of the offseason?” [Devils’ Advocates] “There is a lot of trimming around the edges to be done both up front and in […]

Five Moves That Can Improve the Devils While Protecting Cap Space

Ever since the New Jersey Devils lost out on Barrett Hayton when the Utah Mammoth decided to match their offer sheet on him, fans have wondered where the team is going to go next. Today, I am going to avoid suggesting a big trade, even if there are some third-line centers out there on noncompetitive […]

Are We Moneyballing The Goalies?

I’m a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to goaltending, likely a byproduct of watching the greatest to ever do it backstop the Devils 70+ times a year for 20 years. Couple that with the the revolving door we have had in the crease the past half decade and, well, I keep my therapist […]

Could the New Jersey Devils Start the Season With a Three Goalie Rotation?

New Jersey Devils General Manager Sunny Mehta did well to shed the contract (and playing ability) of Jacob Markstrom this offseason. He moved a contract that former GM Tom Fitzgerald never should have signed and gained positive assets in the form of players who should increase the team’s depth. At the same time, there was […]
