#NJDevils' Arseny Gritsyuk spoke to the media this morning (he recently signed his new deal). I asked him what it means to him for the @NJDevils to commit to him for three more years (at least). @sportsology

"We have good roster this season and we have better roster next season. I am so happy and so exciting to start preseason camp because, so interesting for me, lineups, new guys.

"I see this guy, maybe it is my fault, but Evan Rodrigues, Florida guy, I see his game, but he is so, so good. I wanna practice with him.

"Nico (Hischier) deal, it's unbelievable for us, for team, because our captain stay with us. He's very good guy. He's helped me every time on game, on life.

"I'm so exciting to see guys because, Jack Hughes, I miss him. Hey, let's go. For me, it's new step because, it's my first season signed and now I have to three more for win (Stanley) Cup.

"It's like, score goals. One step, give pass, second step. But, win Cup, it's like 10 step and, for sure, everybody wanna win Cup, but I wanna more."

Devils captain Nico Hischier is expected to sign a 5-year extension with a $11.7 M AAV per season once new League Year starts at noon ET, that's when contract can be registered. He's got one more year left on his deal at $7.25 M next season before extension kicks in for 2027-28.

@ABiancaniello @Kreider4Hart_ This guy never has anything valid to say, he’s a troll as far as I’m concerned, every tweet he sends out he looks dumb lmao

[Alex Chauvancy @AlexC_NJD]

Evan Rodrigues, reportedly coming to NJ in the Jacob Markstrom trade, is a very good bottom-six forward. Can play all positions and give you 30-40 points a season.

Nice addition by Mehta, and frees up nearly $3 mil in cap space.

Devils fans: You can’t covet a GM who’s going to do things differently and then flip out when he does things differently.

[Daniel Rebain 🇺🇲🇵🇱 @DanRebain97]

Devils fans want to be more like the Florida Panthers with Sunny Mehta in charge. Sunny makes a comparable pick to Anton Lundell at 12th overall with Alexander Command and now Devils Twitter is crashing out.

Watch more hockey folks. 😅 #NJDevils

[NHL Alumni @NHLAlumni]

The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60.

Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983.

Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.

The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season.

In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996.

Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season.

Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup.

He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Memorial service details to follow.

@adamfoxyourmom Like any gm in their right mind would trade Nemec AND a first round pick for Vinny trocheck 🤡

[Greg Wyshynski @wyshynski]

NJ Media to Sunny Mehta: Do you still have that dope Starter jacket from when you grew up as a Devils fan?

TOR Media to John Chayka: Everyone says you're a con man and a liar, thoughts?

Can't imagine why some career decisions are made ...

[Sunny Mehta @SunnyMehtaX]

Fellow @NJDevils Fans,

Wake it up. Shake it out.
Does anything still move you since you're educated now?...
Do you believe there's still some magic left somewhere inside our souls?

[NHL Rumour Report @NHLRumourReport]

Jeff Marek: Re Devils/Tom Fitzgerald departure: You had a situation where essentially Quinn Hughes...everybody in the NHL knew his preferred destination...was to play with his brothers in New Jersey; you can't make it happen...you have real problems - DMase Vingan & Daunic (4/9)

[New Jersey Devils @NJDevils]

#BREAKING: New Jersey Devils Managing Partner David Blitzer announced today that Tom Fitzgerald will depart the organization.

[Andrew Rotundo @ARotundo3E]

@itzaaron72 Oh yes I’m so sad over a meaningless end of season loss between two non playoff teams. Trust me y’all can have this one lmao

[Andrew Rotundo @ARotundo3E]

No other professional sports organization/fan base reaches the levels of cringe like the rangers lol 😭

[Kreider4Hart 🥇 @Kreider4Hart_]

@Cantguardleeknb CRYYY LMAO

[Pasha Eshghi @peshghi]

Cassidy yesterday, Treliving today yet it’s still crickets from the #NJDevils. Seems every other team in the league holds people accountable when the results aren’t there. What a concept. The complacency of this Devils ownership is a disgrace

[Charlie Borges Jr @CharlieBorgesJr]

The Los Angeles Kings have lost 44 times this season. They're one point out of a playoff spot.

The New Jersey Devils have lost 35 games this year. They're 10 points out of a playoff spot.

Sick system, Gary.

[Andrew Rotundo @ARotundo3E]

@DevilsJDI @NHLRumourReport Hahaha appreciate that bro, I’m not gonna comment on my fantasy year because I do not want to jinx it 😂

[Andrew Rotundo @ARotundo3E]

@DevilsJDI @NHLRumourReport I don’t know if it’s so much unwillingness as it is hesitation. He seems to be trying but just always comes in second in everything he tries to do. But either way it doesn’t matter, poor roster management/construction is what it stems from

[Andrew Rotundo @ARotundo3E]

@DevRickus Throw in bjugstad as a sweetener

[Spittin' Chiclets @spittinchiclets]

Fresh off his golden goal, Jack Hughes delivered an emotional speech to the Jersey crowd prior to puck drop 🇺🇸
