#NJDevils

@amandacstein @nuzzi_lia Me too, Gritsy!

[BDub @Wongtimer]

@LockedOnDevils I don’t mind the idea of three goalies, but come playoff time they always pick one. We’re a long ways away from that though so worry about that later.

[BDub @Wongtimer]

Ok…well that is a name.

Expecting the #NJDevils to sign UFA G David Rittich

894 SV% in 30 GP

[BDub @Wongtimer]

I want Nico to succeed, but imo we haven’t seen any proof of concept with him. Hope in wrong.

[Down Goes Avery @DownGoesAvery]

I think Nico Daws could be sneaky good.

He really needs Brett Pesce to be healthy though - there are few players more important to the trajectory of the 2026-27 Devils than Pesce.

And obviously Luke needs to take a big step forward (I think he will).

[BDub @Wongtimer]

Nico Daws only posted so so numbers in Utica last year. Now we’re gonna feed him 30+ starts.

[BDub @Wongtimer]

If Daws/Allen is the plan I might be off the Sunny train.

[Amanda Stein @amandacstein]

Sunny Mehta on the goalie tandem for the #NJDevils right now of Allen/Daws:

"Nico Daws has been a pretty big prospect for us for years now, and hasn't really had the path to develop. For me, we're pretty excited about the potential opportunity in front of him."

[BDub @Wongtimer]

@iMaxxxxxing @JNJDevils I could be wrong but I was under the impression that number didn’t include Hayton.

[BDub @Wongtimer]

Barrett Hayton makes so much sense for NJ. If they get him, NJ finally has a guy who can take some of those tough minutes Hischier eats and they can maximize Hischier’s potential. But then they’d only have about 3 million for a goalie. Idk…

[BDub @Wongtimer]

@JNJDevils My understanding is that they have 7.8 now because the Hayton deal hasn’t been finalized.

[BDub @Wongtimer]

I mean this whole heartedly. The only thing that could prevent them from winning the cup is Jacob Markstrom.

[Bryan @Metalpanthers]

This the kind of forward core I used to create in chel as a kid when I turned off the salary cap and turned down the trade difficulty.

[BDub @Wongtimer]

@JamesNicholsNHL @FriedgeHNIC

[BDub @Wongtimer]

I wondered this to myself. Waddell came to Werenski and asked him whether he was ready to make a decision on the rest of his career way before he was ready to. He didn’t immediately say yes, and then they moved too quickly for his liking.

[Empty Netters @EmptyNettersPod]

Thus ends the strangest trade request (??) saga of all time.

Z will be staying in Columbus and we all...pretend like this never happened!! Moving on!

[BDub @Wongtimer]

1.1 can be buried in the AHL with no cap hit, so I’m assuming he’s looking for a goalie.

[PuckPedia @PuckPedia]

The #NJDevils signed 25 y/o G Nico Daws to a 2 year $1.1M cap hit contract

Yr 1: $975K
Yr 2: $1.225M

Will be UFA upon expiry

[BDub @Wongtimer]

@AATJerseyBlog @JKFischer We might just need him to suit up at this point.

[BDub @Wongtimer]

I know that it’s been reported that NJ isn’t in on Hellebuyck, but right now they have 8.6 million in cap space 👀.

[BDub @Wongtimer]

@TopTierPucks If I had wheels I’d be a wagon.

[BDub @Wongtimer]

@Shady80KW @Jman220_ I’m with you, I hate it.

[Shayna @shaynagoldman_]

Nico Hischier rocks. His five year, $11.7M AAV extension also rocks. https://t.co/2scPObZR9W

[BDub @Wongtimer]

35 million tied up in 2 plays on a 104 million cap 🥴

[NHL Rumour Report @NHLRumourReport]

Elliotte Friedman: Re Quinn Hughes/Wild projection: 3 x $18 million, sometime in July - Sportsnet (7/1)

[Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun]

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.
