The New Jersey Devils still need the first six wingers. Who is the best choice?
Ryan Novozinsky of NJ..com, NJ: Novozinsky wrote that the New Jersey Devils need a top six scoring winger. New Jersey can’t rely on Ondrej Palat, Dawson Mercer or Stefan Noesen to be that player. But to make the Devils compete for the Stanley Cup, they need the final score to put them on top. Novozinsky looked at some of the possible options and placed them at a hierarchy.
Jordan Kyrou – St. Louis Blues
Jimmy Snuggerud’s blues are high, and Jordan Kyrou’s name is there. He has been on Frank Seravalli’s Trade Bait Committee. His salary cap is $8.125 million. Can the devil afford it without moving one or two players?
Jason Robertson – Dallas Stars
Speaking of currency, Jason Robertson is the next name listed. The package may be three pieces, including the roster, prospects and draft picks. In this case, Dougie Hamilton is associated with Dallas. Will that work?
NHL Rumor: New York Rangers and Jack Roslovic signing closer
Jared McCann, Seattle Cleken
An ideal goal is Seattle Kraken’s Jared McCann, who has two years left for $5 million. It’s a cheap hat for someone who averages 30 goals and 30 assists per season. Can Dawson Mercer be part of this deal?
Rickard Rakell, Pittsburgh Penguin
Although Rickard Rakell is the ideal goal pursued by the devil, he has three years left with $5 million. Rakell always scores goals and is a stable winger who can rely on two ways to play.
Tyler Toffoli, San Jose Shark
This is unlikely to happen. However, Tyler Toffoli scored 26 goals before Jack Hughes was traded to Winnipeg. He satisfies the need.
Devil Rumor: Dougie Hamilton will stay at least in New Jersey Devils
nhlrumors.com Note: The New Jersey Devil cuts their jobs for them for their pursuit of the top six scoring wingers. Each team needs one, and there isn’t much to find. Tom Fitzgerald will boil down to Tom Fitzgerald making the tough decision because he thinks he is part of the team’s progress and they have to provide other teams with what they say.
As for the players mentioned by Norwozski,
Jordan Kyrou As of July 1, there is a full no action clause, so it’s a high price to get him. Not to mention, does the Devil want to pay another $8 million when Luke Hughes’ delay is still pending?
Jason Robertson Meet the demand, but how much does it cost? Dougie Hamilton? The devil shouldn’t move to Hamilton to create space for Robertson. How wise it is to increase goals and weaken the power field. Trying to go beyond defensive issues isn’t the best idea, especially in the sacrifice of players like Dougie Hamilton.
Jared McCann It makes sense, but again, New Jersey needs to clear the hat space to achieve it. Mercer, what else will the deal pay off? But is this what Kraken wants to do? More introductions are made at another time.
Rickard Rakell As NHLrumors.com and Devilsnation.com reported after the 2025 NHL trade deadline, it was the devil’s ideal goal, but it was astronomy to get his price. Still yes.
Lane Hutson will see his time on the Olympic stage for Team USA
Tyler Toffoli Not back to the New Jersey Devil. After what happened in the 2024 NHL trade deadline, the Devil sent him to Winnipeg, where he didn’t want to go, and that’s the end of the relationship. The Devil has been working hard to replace his work, but has not succeeded. Meanwhile, the San Jose shark will have to fall off the mat to trade him, but he can control where he goes. Also, why did he leave McLean Celebration?
