If Sunny Mehta and the New Jersey Devils are serious about contending in the 2025-26 season, one thing they will need to do is get creative and add more offensive firepower upfront. The Devils have been trending in the wrong direction in terms of offensive production over the last few seasons. They averaged 3.52 goals […]

As we get deeper into the offseason and the NHL draft gets closer and closer, I’ve started to think about how I want the New Jersey Devils to attack the 2026 edition of the draft. Holding the 12th overall pick, new general manager Sunny Mehta seemingly has a few options at his disposal. He can […]

Maybe Jack wants to come to Minnesota now to join forces with Quinn rather than wait or have it the other way around. It would be complicated, though, because it’s hard to believe Jack would leave their youngest […]
Good afternoon, Devils fans and hockey fans, and welcome to another All About the Jersey draft profile. Today, we are going to look at someone who might fly under the radar a bit.

After last season you'd think that Dougie Hamilton would have demanded a trade from the New Jersey Devils, but that wasn't the case at all. Now, with a new GM running show in Sunny Mehta, there's been an update on Hamilton's status as a Devil. Turns out Mehta will listen to any trade offers coming his way on just about anyone on the roster, but has made it very clear already in the early days on the job, he's not necessarily shopping Hamilton, and is really a fan of his game. Hamilton had a to...

Here are your links for today: Devils Links “Šimon Nemec is something of an enigma and could be one player affected by the changes. Sometimes, he shows flashes of being a second overall pick. Other times, he looks like a fish out of water. Nemec will become a restricted free agent on July 1. You […]
Barry Trotz announced his retirement on February 2, and the Nashville Predators have been searching for his replacement ever since. Four months later, they still do not have one. In that same window, the New Jersey Devils fired a GM and hired a replacement in nine days, and the Maple Leafs fired Brad Treliving and hired John Chayka in just over a month. Nashville, by contrast, has barely moved publicly despite conducting a wide-ranging interview process behind closed doors. The Predato...
Bill Guerin had a problem. He had star power with incredible players like Quinn Hughes, Matt Boldy, Brock Faber, and others. His team had depth in net. On paper, he had everything he needed to go all the way. But as talent-laden as Team USA was, Team Canada was still a heavy favorite for the 20...
Two more free agents in the New Jersey Devils system are forwards Xavier Parent and defenseman Topias Vilen. While both are restricted free agents, that’s where a lot of the similarities end. Parent plays up front in a scoring role for Utica after not hearing his name called in his draft year while Vilen was […]
With the restricted free agents profiled for this upcoming offseason, its time to shift our attention to the unrestricted free agents. The New Jersey Devils didn’t have a lot of pending UFAs to begin with going into the offseason. The fact that the two I’m going to write about this week are probably the two […]

In this this post we look at five Devils prospects who rose their stocks the most this past season. David Rozsival A late birthday when drafted in the 5th round of last year’s NHL entry draft, David Rozsival is still only 18-years-old. That did not stop the 6’1 right winger from turning heads this season […]
The New Jersey Devils held a 2.5 percent chance of jumping to second overall in the Draft Lottery. It did not materialize. They are locked in at 12th overall for the June 26 draft in Buffalo, which means they will not have a shot at Gavin McKenna or Ivar Stenberg, the two players at the top of the class. What they do have is a first-round pick in a draft tier that is valuable as trade currency, a clear and well-documented need for top-six winger help, and a new general manager in Sunny M...
We continue our series on the New Jersey Devils’ pending free agents today with a look at Paul Cotter. During his time in the Garden State, Cotter has flashed some brilliance, flashed some ineffectiveness, and to his credit has become a staple of the Devils’ lineup for two seasons now. But should that continue into […]

The New Jersey Devils disappointed in a significant way this season. After entering the campaign with high expectations, they instead missed the playoffs. Now, they should be in for a very busy offseason. It is clear that the Devils need to improve their roster if they hope to be better in 2026-27. One of their biggest needs is another top-six forward. When looking at trade candidates around the NHL, Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann stands out as an interesting potential option for th...

When a player scores the game-winning goal in overtime, you would think he would be a no-brainer selection to be named “Player of the Game”, but I struggled with this one. I absolutely loved Jackson Blake’s gritty play on the puck while he battled to get that puck loose in the crease, enabling Hall to […]
