The New Jersey Devils are heading into the season with sky-high expectations. Throughout the preseason, they tinkered with different combinations on special teams to find a group that sticks.

The New Jersey Devils are truly ready to compete. General manager Tom Fitzgerald has put together a roster that is ready to contend in 2023-24 and for many years to come. They have a lethal top six, a very sturdy defensive core, and still one of the most talented prospect pools. On top of all

Igor Shesterkin is easily among the greatest active goaltenders, if not the greatest. The Russian superstar netminder has posted a .924 save percentage (SV%) in his four NHL seasons thus far.

The Columbus Blue Jackets completed a sign and trade with the New Jersey Devils on Friday. For a third-round pick in this year’s draft, the Blue Jackets acquired defenseman Damon Severson. He is now signed to an eight-year contract worth $50 million. After acquiring Ivan Provorov earlier in the week, the Blue Jackets have continued
The New Jersey Devils’ blue line will probably look a bit different for the 2023-24 season. Ryan Graves and Damon Severson are both unrestricted free agents and will likely price themselves out of a range general manager Tom Fitzgerald would be willing to go. Per Elliotte Friedman, the Devils could even trade Severson’s negotiating rights ahead of
