Devils Trade Goalie Rémi Poirier to Capitals for Seventh-Round Pick

The New Jersey Devils trade backup goalie Rémi Poirier to the Washington Capitals for a 2027 seventh‑round pick, announced Sunday by GM Sunny Mehta. Poirier, a 25‑year‑old who never appeared in an NHL game for New Jersey, was claimed off waivers from the Dallas Stars in September and posted a 2.61 GAA and .912 save percentage in 52 AHL games last season. The move leaves Connor Hellebuyck and Jake Allen as the Devils' NHL netminders, adds a seventh‑rounder to New Jersey’s five 2027 picks, and frees roughly $850,000 in cap space, bringing the roster down to 42 contracts ahead of Tuesday’s game against Edmonton.
