Devils' GM Confirms Trade Talks Heating Up on 2 Players in New Jersey

The New Jersey Devils are open for business as general manager Tom Fitzgerald appears to be willing to do whatever he can to turn around their season, and perhaps, keep his job. Fitzgerald met with the media on Wednesday and opened up about how things are going for his team, some of their struggles with injuries, and most importantly, the ongoing trade talks around a couple of his veterans, including defenceman Dougie Hamilton and forward Ondrej Palat. “These are two respected players,” Fitzge...

We were right doubt to the Jets, and other midseason lessons from the prediction contest

One of my favorite posts of every year is the annual prediction contest, in which I give you ten simple questions about how the upcoming season will go, and you get them wrong. I love that for us, for two reasons. First, it helps me feel better about all of my own bad predictions. (The New Jersey Devils: maybe not elite Cup contenders after all.) But more importantly, it’s a way to remind us all about just how unpredictable the NHL has become. It’s easy to look back at any given season after i...

The Devils Are a Directionless, Dysfunctional Mess

A few weeks ago, I posed the question of what the Devils could do to shake things up. I laid out all the options, from firing the GM and/or the coach, to making a trade, to calling up a prospect from Utica to healthy scratching a veteran player. Despite this, there were no changes of […]

GM #45: New York Islanders @ Winnipeg Jets

The month of December wasn’t a great one for Winnipeg Jets’ goaltenders, as it only provided Connor Hellebuyck & Eric Comrie with one win each. Now that the calendar has flipped over to January, the masked men have already equaled that plateau before the mid-month mark. The True North franchise is currently on their 4th multi-game winning streak of the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign, after posting victories over the Los Angeles Kings & New Jersey Devils, and will be hoping to extend that versus t...

Bizarro Devils Tame Wild in 5-2 Victory

And now for something completely different. Where did that come from? Consider the ways in which the Devils 5-2 win over the Minnesota Wild on Monday night at Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minn., was some kind of funhouse mirror reflection of the horrors of the past month and a half. The Devils beat […]

The week ahead: Penguins need to bounce back after missed opportunity weekend

The Pittsburgh Penguins opened the past week with an impressive 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils, extending their winning streak to six consecutive games and continuing to play their way back into playoff contention. It also set the stage for a potentially big weekend against two pretty mediocre teams — the Calgary Flames and […]

Latest Dougie Hamilton Intel: 3 Teams Labeled 'Serious Suitors' for Devils' Defenseman

The Dougie Hamilton drama with the New Jersey Devils is now at a boiling point. He was a healthy scratch on Sunday and we heard that his agent admitted the player might be willing to waive his no-trade for some of the teams not on his 10-team trade list.  The latest intel emerging on this Monday morning is that there are three teams now considered "serious suitors" with three other teams in the mix as well, per James Murphy in rg.org. The Sharks, Maple Leafs, and Mammoth have all emerged ...

Both NHL franchises have been struggling as of late, with the hometown Jets on a 1-5-3 streak in their past 9 contests, while the Devils matched the 5 points earned with a 2-6-1 ...

Devils' Dougie Hamilton Rejected Offseason Trade

The New Jersey Devils have been trying to trade Dougie Hamilton for months, and haven't had any luck thanks to Hamilton getting involved in the process. The right-handed defenceman has a 10-team trade list and used his control last offseason, denying a deal that would have sent him to the San Jose Sharks. The ironic part is the Sharks are one of the biggest surprises this season and sit in a playoff spot, so Sportnet's Elliotte Friedman wonders if the talks will continue.  Elliotte Friedm...

Devils Need To Trade Markstrom, But Is It Doable?

The New Jersey Devils have quickly found out their mistake in signing both Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen to multi-year deals a year before they were free agents. There is no problem with Allen now, and he should be the starter in New Jersey if they are serious about winning games, but Markstrom is a problem this season. Allen has started one more game than Markstrom and the numbers are vastly different. Allen has a 2.61 GAA, .911 SV%, one shutout, and 5.38 goals saved above expected (GSAx). H...

Canucks & Devils Have Pieces For Major Trade

The New Jersey Devils are making a shocking move by healthy scratching Dougie Hamilton for their Sunday game. With Simon Nemec back from injury and Johnathan Kovacevic ready to step into the lineup for his first game of the season, the veteran d-man, who's had a tough season and is on the trade block, is having more drastic action taken against him. Hamilton has a 10-team trade list, but reportedly blocked a trade to the San Jose Sharks at an earlier date. While that's his right as it's in his...
