The New Jersey Devils tried to poach Barrett Hayton with an offer sheet, but Utah matched it—locking him in for nearly $5 million as a franchise cornerstone. Utah hyped the move with bold statements and graphics, painting Hayton as essential to their future. But behind the scenes, the reality’s murkier: Hayton’s 25-point season didn’t match his defensive reputation, and Utah’s GM admitted they fel...

The Anaheim Ducks are in a cap crunch after matching Leo Carlsson’s $18M offer, leaving just $9M to sign Cutter Gauthier—expected to cost over $13M. GM Pat Verbeek must free up $6M, with aging vets like Kreider and Killorn on the chopping block—but Troy Terry might be the smarter move. At 28, Terry had a 57-point season, still a top-six threat with elite analytics, strong transition play, and even...

The New Jersey Devils just shook up their goaltending room, ditching big-money Jacob Markstrom and bringing in two new pieces to pair with Jake Allen: Nico Daws on a two-year, one-way deal and veteran David Rittich on a one-year, one-way pact. Both goalies are expected to compete for NHL time, with Allen likely holding the starter’s spot thanks to his strong play last season and his unique no-trad...

The New Jersey Devils made a move to lure Barrett Hayton with an offer sheet, but Utah Mammoth matched it—keeping Hayton for another season. Despite the NHL’s recent quiet on offer sheets, this one sparked no drama, with Utah’s GM calling it “just business.” Hayton, entering his eighth NHL season and third with Utah (formerly Arizona Coyotes), now has a one-year deal locked through 2026, with his...

Devils’ Hayton Stays Put, Wright’s Potential Falls Short – New Jersey’s pursuit of Barrett Hayton hit a wall when Utah matched his offer, leaving the Devils to consider alternatives like 22-year-old Shane Wright. Though a high draft pick with defensive upside, Wright’s offensive impact remains limited, excelling only in chance assists. With the Devils favoring puck-moving, active players, Wright’s...

The Devils missed out on Barrett Hayton, but now have over $9.6M in cap space and six first-round picks to work with.

Barrett Hayton stays put with the Utah Mammoth, signing a one-year, $4.775M deal that locks him in for another season and makes him an unrestricted free agent next summer — a move that shuts the door on the New Jersey Devils’ hopes of adding him. The Devils, still sitting with over $7M in cap space (potentially $9.5M with downward-tradable players), also retained a second-round draft pick they’d h...

The New Jersey Devils pulled a risky move by offering Barrett Hayton a one-year “poison pill” contract, forcing the Utah Mammoth to either match or lose him for free agency. But the Mammoth matched — keeping Hayton and leaving the Devils scrambling. With Hayton now signed, the Devils must pivot: either find a similar player or reinvest in a star winger to pair with Jack Hughes. They didn’t blow th...

Utah Mammoth just matched New Jersey Devils’ offer sheet to keep center Barrett Hayton, locking him in on a $4.775M one-year deal — he can’t be traded until July but can extend after January 1. The Devils’ move seemed like a test, but Utah stood firm, valuing Hayton’s proven 124-point output in 264 games over four seasons. If Utah hadn’t matched, NJ would’ve gotten a second-round pick — now they’r...

Devils dodged a massive cap bullet by trading Simon Nemec, who signed a massive 5-year, $7.25M deal elsewhere — leaving them with just $377K in space. The trade paid off handsomely, netting two first-round picks, a second-rounder, and a prospect. Now flush with assets and cap room, they’re primed to make a splash — maybe even targeting stars like Dylan Larkin or Matthew Knies — setting up for seri...

Barrett Hayton is staying with the Utah Mammoth, rejecting the Devils’ offer sheet to ink a one-year, $4.775M deal — a move Utah sees as a cornerstone two-way player. The Devils, now on the hunt for other upgrades, remain active in the offseason market as they rebuild their forward corps. Hayton has an extension option after January, and while Utah can’t trade him until July, they’re happy to keep...
