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 Sign Winger Riley Tufte to 1 Year, $850,000 Deal
In one of the more under the radar moves today, the Devils announced the signing of 28-year-old winger Riley Tufte to a one-year, one-way NHL contract. A link to the press release can be found here. A 6’6”, 245lb behemoth, Tufte has been one of the most prolific scorers in the AHL, finishing tied for […]
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 […]
New Jersey Devils Sign Nico Daws to Two-Year Extension
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 […]

Free agency begins today. Prepare yourself. Here are your links for today: Devils Links Arseny Gritsyuk gets a three-year deal: Jacob Markstrom is off to Florida: “Markstrom’s exit obviously leaves the Devils with a pretty important hole to fill, leaving things somewhat incomplete.

The Eve of Free Agency: Fourteen Players the Devils Could Add
After the New Jersey Devils’ shocking trade of Jacob Markstrom and Angus Crookshank to the Florida Panthers for Evan Rodrigues, Jesper Boqvist, and Ben Steeves, the whole picture of this offseason has flipped on its head. No longer are the Devils looking to squeeze a few new players into the roster with limited cap space […]
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. It would appear that those reports were indeed accurate. Hours after the Devils announced they had traded Jacob Markstrom to Florida, the Devils announced that Gritsyuk would indeed be back in […]
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 Qualify Six Players Including Gritsyuk, Lombardi, & Daws | Paul Cotter Among Four Not Qualified
Prior to Monday’s 5pm Eastern deadline, the New Jersey Devils tendered qualifying offers to six pending restricted free agents. Those players are forwards Arseny Gritsyuk, Amadeus Lombardi, and Xavier Parent, defenseman Topias Vilen, and goaltenders Nico Daws and Jakub Malek. As a result, the Devils will continue to control their NHL rights as we enter […]
New Jersey Devils Prospect Update: The State of the Pool After the Draft
In last week’s article, I commented on the state of the prospect pool and I asked for three things at the draft: Offensive Wingers, Centers, and a Goalie. Let’s look at the results.

The New Jersey Devils’ brand new general manager, Sunny Mehta, just completed his first draft at the helm of an organization.

New Jersey Devils Select Quinn McKenzie at 222nd Overall in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft
With the third-to-last pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, which was acquired from Colorado, the New Jersey Devils selected Quinn McKenzie from the Soo Greyhounds of the OHL. In 2026-27, McKenzie will be playing for the Penn State Nittany Lions. For such a late pick in the draft, there is actually a lot to like […]

The Devils go with a high compete, hard-working forechecker in Round 6. Devils Take Luke Wilfley With their own sixth round selection, the Devils selected 6’1, 179 pound center Luke Wilfley from the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL.

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 […]
New Jersey Devils Select Lavr Gashilov at 119th Overall in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft
After acquiring the 119th overall pick in the fourth round from the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft when they traded down from 35th to 37th in the second round, the New Jersey Devils selected Lavr Gashilov from Avto Yekaterinburg of the MHL.

New Jersey Devils Select Matias Vanhanen at 37th Overall in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft
After selecting Alexander Command, a physical and two-way Swedish center at 12th overall in the first round of the NHL Draft, Sunny Mehta decided to trade down from the 35th overall pick. 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 […]
