No, your eyes do not deceive you, and yes, they are brothers. The younger brother of Simon Nemec, Adam, is eligible for the NHL Draft this season, and there are some reasons that the Devils should actually be interested in selecting him. Unlike his older brother, Adam decided to jump from HK Nitra in the […]
As we continue diving into draft prospects here at AATJ, we have exclusively covered forwards projected in the top 15, mostly focusing on players that should likely/potentially be available at 12. It shouldn’t be a secret why we have been focusing on forwards as our prospect cupboard up front is is about as barren as […]
The NHL is a copycat league, or at least that’s what all the talking heads around the game of hockey tell us. Whoever wins the Stanley Cup instantly becomes the template for every other franchise to use for their own advancement. This is something us Devils fans know all too well, as while it’s never […]

New GM Sunny Mehta will likely be busy this summer, as the Devils’ roster has a few holes to […]
While the New Jersey Devils underachieved as a whole last season, there is one area that fans have been begging to be upgraded for quite some time now. Former General Manager Tom Fitzgerald attempted to rectify the gap by bringing in Jacob Markstrom in a trade with Calgary. The move forged a veteran pair between […]
One thing I have always said is that the best ideas for content are stolen, and I am not above going ahead and stealing other people’s ideas and ultimately making them my own. I admire the work Sean McIndoe, better known on the internet as Down Goes Brown, puts out. One of my favorite recurring […]
Here are your links for today: Devils Links “What is one of the Devils’ biggest needs, if not the biggest? A top-six winger to complement Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier. The Devils finished 31st in five-on-five goals last season, and while playing style was part of the reason, Kyrou may be the perfect fit to […]

Here are your links for today: Devils Links “The New Jersey Devils need to make some changes this offseason, but they will have to clear some cap space to do so.

Welcome to trade rumor season, which is now in full swing with the news of Dylan Larkin’s request for a trade out of Detroit. The Ottawa Citizen, just a couple days prior, reported that the Islanders have been exploring the market for Mathew Barzal. While both players should be interesting to every team in the […]
As we continue going through our prospect profiles, we are starting to take a look at players that have seen a late season surge up several rankings, but could be around in the 2nd round. Maddox is a big kid, standing 6’4” and just shy of 200 lbs having spent last season in the QMJHL […]

He would shift over to North America for 15U AAA in 2023-24, where he would play for the Windy City Storm before […]
Note: These predictions are mine and mine alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of any of the other AATJ staff. The Devils and Nico Hischier Agree To a Contract Extension As I’ve said before, the most important piece of business for the Devils this summer is to get Nico Hischier to agree to […]
Here are your links for today: Devils Links Anton Silayev has signed his entry-level contract: On Silayev: “He may not have a high offensive ceiling, but I am still optimistic about his chances of becoming a useful NHL player. He has a unique combination of size, speed, and agility that is very rare. If harnessed […]
Good evening, everyone. Tonight starts the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights. I cannot say I am excited for hockey to be done for the offseason, but it does bring us one step closer to the New Jersey Devils being back on the ice. So, there’s that. The […]
Today, we spotlight Oliver Suvanto, a defensive center in the SHL, and one of the younger players in this year’s NHL entry draft. Oliver Suvanto was born on September 3, 2008 in Turku, Finland.

We continue our profile series on 2026 NHL draft prospects today with a look at Nikita Klepov. As the headline states, Klepov is a highly-talented playmaker with elite skill when the puck is on his stick. After bulldozing the OHL this past season, Klepov has set himself up to be drafted very high in this […]
Here are your links for today: Devils Links Is there a case to be made for keeping Dougie Hamilton? “He may not be at his pinnacle anymore, but he is a high-end blueliner nonetheless, and, if given the deployment he has had throughout his career, he should be a 50+ point-getter despite the possibility of […]
There’s no easy way to boil Claude Lemieux’s life down into a single, short sentiment. He’s a legend to the New Jersey Devils, Colorado Avalanche, and Montreal Canadiens, both in terms of their former players and long-time fans. He’s a man who cared deeply for the people around him. And while he could have had […]
HI! Hope everyone had a lovely fake Spring and now real Spring so far. Not sure if you are all watching the playoffs, but there have been some fun games and fun young teams. I did not have Vegas beating Colorado in my bracket, let alone sweeping, so definitely pretty shocking. Although I had Ottawa […]
Howdilly Ho, AATJ friends. Today we are going to take a look at Wyatt Cullen as a potential pick for the Devils in the upcoming 2026 Entry Draft. Cullen is the middle son of former NHLer Matt Cullen and is listed at anywhere from 6’ to 6’2” depending on what you read, but the main […]

A few weeks ago, Chris wrote that the New Jersey Devils should hang on to this year’s first round selection. The team has a new general manager, some new staff, and hopefully that would mean a player taken in the first half of round one should be able to make an NHL impact. Whether that […]
Last week, the NHL announced the tiers for offer sheet salary thresholds and the corresponding draft pick compensation. When I sit down to write my offseason preview articles, I normally don’t like going down the “why don’t the Devils just sign (Player X) to an offer sheet” for a variety of reasons. The NHL has […]
