Six PTO Candidates for the New Jersey Devils
Good morning, New Jersey Devils fans! As a bit of a site note, I hope you are all getting ready for the annual Top 25 Under 25 community vote. I will be posting about that soon as we have entered the mid-offseason lull. To Sunny Mehta’s credit, he did not do a press conference a […]
Devils in the Details – 7/31/26: Breakout Incoming Edition
Here are your links for today: Devils Links “After trading Jacob Markström and Šimon Nemec, the Devils have a lot of salary cap space available. They have $3.85 million free now, and more could become available since they have a surplus of forwards. Whether it’s before the start of next season, at the 2027 trade […]
Will the New Jersey Devils Add One of Their Unsigned Goaltenders Before 2026-27 Begins?
There is still much to be decided and determined before the New Jersey Devils take the ice to open the 2026-27 season. While GM Sunny Mehta has seemingly settled on a three goalie system at the NHL level for the year, it leaves questions regarding the team’s AHL affiliate and beyond. With about six weeks […]
Can Bob Myers and Sunny Mehta Turn New Jersey Into a Destination?
For those who don’t follow the NBA, allow me to provide a brief history on the work Bob Myers has done as an executive. Bob Myers was hired by the Golden State Warriors in 2011 as an assistant general manager. He would be promoted to general manager a year later. Under Myers’s leadership, the Warriors […]

Can A Change In Usage Unlock Timo Meier’s Point Production?
Ever since the New Jersey Devils traded for Timo Meier at the 2023 trade deadline, former general manager Tom Fitzgerald, the entire Devils organization, and Devils fans alike have envisioned a perennial 30- to 40-goal scorer sitting atop their lineup. After three-and-a-half seasons in the Garden State, things haven’t gone quite as planned for Meier […]
Devils in the Details – 7/27/26: Three Goalies Edition
Here are your links for today: Devils Links Congrats to the Bratts: “All in all, Mehta’s business has directly opened a plethora of different doors in the event that things don’t go as planned to begin 2026-27. From the roster to the Comets to the coaching staff, the Devils have fallback after fallback to resort […]
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 Still, some Devils fans who seem to have forgotten that Tom Fitzgerald has been replaced by Sunny Mehta continue to wait for a Dougie Hamilton trade, and some are still expecting that Dawson Mercer is going to be […]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 […]

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 […]
Balancing the Need to Improve the New Jersey Devils and Their Prospect Pool
General Manager Sunny Mehta is in an unenviable position. The man who has taken the helm of the Devils has inherited a mess from the former regime. The Devils maybe had the talent and potential to be a playoff team last season, but injuries and poor play impacted that and left the group on the […]
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 […]
New Jersey Devils Prospect Update: Summer News Edition
With the post-draft summer days dragging on, it’s time to catch up on some prospect news. Around the Pool: Your Take Post your comments below.
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 […]
Sunny Mehta is Attempting to Address the Needs of the New Jersey Devils Without Mortgaging the Future
The New Jersey Devils haven’t had the loudest summer out of all of the NHL teams, but they’ve certainly had a productive one. General Manager Sunny Mehta hasn’t been shy about making changes to a roster that underperformed last season. Coaching adjustments have been made, the defense logjam appears to be cleared, and while goaltending […]
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 […]
