Today the New Jersey Devils traded for Nikita Gusev, the best Russian hockey player to come to the tri-state area this summer (Seriously, who else could it be?). The Deal Since Las Vegas couldn’t afford his contract, New Jersey only had to give up a 2020 third-round pick, and a 2021 second-round pick to acquire
It’s been one week since NHL free agency began, and the main stars like Sergei Bobrovsky and Joe Pavelski are off the board (what’s all the fuss about this Panarin clown?), and the list of impactful players without allegiance has shortened. So where can New Jersey Devils’ general manager Ray Shero turn to next? Restricted
General manager Ray Shero is one stealthy human being. In what was the team’s only NHL deal of the day, the New Jersey Devils came to terms with forward Wayne Simmonds. The agreed upon deal is only for one year at a value of $5 million. At first, it seemed as if many Devils’ fans

The Hall Report Going into the 2019 offseason, number one on general manager Ray Shero’s to-do list is probably to extend star winger Taylor Hall. But, Hall may not be interested in extending his contract with the team this summer, according to a report from David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period. This brings into question
By now, you’ve all heard the “news”, and I use that term extremely lightly. Apparently, keyword apparently, Taylor Hall doesn’t want to sign an extension with the New Jersey Devils. Instead of picking apart that information and proposing trade scenarios (if Chiarelli was still running the Oilers, we could have probably traded him back for
Per our first two free agent profiles, the New Jersey Devils should be able to address their hole at the top of their forward group via free agency. Those two profiles focused on two smaller, scorer type guys as Mats Zuccarello is listed as 5-foot-8 and 184 pounds, and Gustav Nyquist is 5-foot-11 and also
As mentioned in our previous free agent profile examining Mats Zuccarello, the New Jersey Devils have holes to fill in their top-six. Zuccarello was just one of many great options the Devils can choose to fill this gap. While he was an older option, general manager Ray Shero may want to pursue someone a little
