After Day 1 of Free Agency, the New Jersey Devils Still Appear to be a Team in Flux
Day 1 of NHL free agency was…actually somewhat quiet for the New Jersey Devils. New General Manager Sunny Mehta did well to not sign a deal for the sake of signing one, and instead went about with some more minor business. Nico Daws, Mark McLaughlin and Xavier Parent were all re-signed to new deals. He […]

Devils Offer Sheet Mammoth C Barrett Hayton for 1-Year, $4.775M
A few weeks ago, I looked at the landscape around the NHL to try to determine if there were any worthy offer sheet candidates. It takes a unique set of circumstances for an offer sheet to go through and actually be successful. Not only does one need to target a team that has a lack […]

Just before 3:00 PM, the New Jersey Devils announced that goaltender Nico Daws has re-signed with them on a two-year deal with an AAV of $1.1 million. Per PuckPedia, this would bring the team’s projected cap space to $8.627 million for the 2026-27 season, though it may be nearly a million dollars higher when considering […]
New Jersey Devils Sign Defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok to One Year Deal
After a quiet first couple hours of free agency, Sunny Mehta finally made a signing. Vladislav Kolachonok, a depth defenseman who has spent time with the Arizona Coyotes/Utah Mammoth, Pittsburgh Penguins, Dallas Stars, and Boston Bruins in his five-year NHL career. In 87 games, the 25-year old Kolyachonok has five goals and 12 assists with […]
Devils Re-Sign Nico Hischier to a 5-Year, $11.7M AAV contract
The most important piece of business for Sunny Mehta to get done in his first offseason as Devils general manager was to get Nico Hischier signed to a contract extension, keeping the Devils captain in the fold for the next several years. Negotiations seemed to be moving along swimmingly in the weeks leading up to […]

Devils Re-Sign Arseny Gritsyuk to Three Year, $9.75M ($3.25M AAV) Contract
Late on Monday, Devils beat reporter James Nichols reported that the Devils were closing in on a deal for restricted free agent Arseny Gritsyuk.

Devils Trade Jacob Markstrom & Angus Crookshank to Panthers for Evan Rodrigues, Jesper Boqvist, and Ben Steeves
A few weeks ago, Kevin Weekes reported that the Devils were gauging market interest in regards to a trade for goaltender Jacob Markstrom. I wrote an article breaking down potential landing spots for Markstrom and came to the conclusion that the three teams that made the most sense were Detroit, Edmonton, and Florida. Weekes, a […]

Devils Select Daniil Rusakovich with the 149th pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft
After trading back once again from pick 140 with Colorado, the Devils picked Rusakovich with the 149th pick. I like the idea of sliding back a few spots to pick up some more lottery tickets (also picking up pick 222), it is something that has reaped rewards for Carolina and it seems Sunny has a […]

He sent 35 to Chicago in exchange for the 37th and 119th picks. When that 37th pick came up, the Devils selected Matias […]
New Jersey Devils Select Alexander Command at 12th Overall in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft
People wondered if it would be Ethan Belchetz, the big winger. I thought Sunny Mehta might take Nikita Klepov, the high-scoring winger. But the New Jersey Devils went in a different direction with the selection of Alexander Command at 12th overall in the 2026 NHL Draft. The 11th ranked European skater, whose rankings ranged from […]
