“New Jersey Devils GM Sunny Mehta has been extremely active in his first off-season managing the team. While the roster is cheaper, deeper, and there are plenty of bodies to fill out a 23-man squad, it still feels like there is meat on the bone as far as movement goes. Let’s take a closer look at a few reasons why I believe more activity is to come.” [Infernal Access ($)]
“General manager Sunny Mehta has made some improvements to the roster. But he still has work to do if the Devils want to enter next season at the level of the Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Capitals. Let’s project the Devils’ roster as it stands today and see what else Mehta may have to do over the next few weeks.” [Devils on the Rush ($)]
“Matthew Tkachuk is genuinley sad to see his former teammates leave for the New Jersey Devils. The Florida Panthers star pulled no punches when reflecting on Evan Rodrigues and Jesper Boqvist during a recent episode of his podcast. As both forwards head to the Devils in the trade for goaltender Jacob Markstrom, Tkachuk made it clear just how much he values them—not only as players but as people. His words carry extra weight because they include a direct message he delivered to Jack Hughes about one of the new arrivals.” [New Jersey Hockey Now]
