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.

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.

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 […]

How The New Jersey Devils Currently Stack Up Against A Revamped Metropolitan Division
The Metropolitan Division got a bit of an overhaul this offseason. I know I’m not breaking any news here, as this site and plenty of other outlets have discussed the changes in the Metro since the end of this past season. Not only that, but change is a constant in the NHL, so it would […]

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.

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?
