#NJDevils GM Tom Fitzgerald: "We don't have a first round pick... that doesn't mean we won't get one."
— Ryan Novozinsky (@ryannovo62) May 17, 2023
"We paused talks prior to playoffs. There's definitely progression, a framework of a deal to be done long-term if Jesper wants that. Jesper knows exactly what that framework looks like. I know Jesper wants to be a Devil long-term."#NJDevils Tom Fitzgerald on Jesper Bratt

"Timo. Meier knows that I believe this is the right place for Timo. He and his agent and I will talk and go through this and hopefully figure something out long-term."#NJDevils
Here are my 9 biggest takeaways from #NJDevils GM Tom Fitzgerald's press conference. Includes Fitzgerald's thoughts on:
— Ryan Novozinsky (@ryannovo62) May 17, 2023
- Jesper/Timo contract talks updates
- Goalies
- Andrew Brunette/front office staffers possibly getting poached
- Plenty morehttps://t.co/FPbYJ6pvDu
“The Devils won a ton of games, the numbers suggest they deserved to win a ton of games, and they’re a year – or perhaps even two – ahead of schedule. The organization is in a spot now that you’d barely dream of this time last year. The situation doesn’t exactly scream for a coaching change.” [Infernal Access ($)]
One possible landing spot for Andrew Brunette:
#NHLDucks coaching search has mostly flown under radar, amazing because I believe GM Pat Verbeek has spoken to roughly 468 potential candidates.
— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) May 18, 2023
But I can confirm 3 names on the list: Andrew Brunette (#njdevils), Spencer Carbery (#Leafs) & Mike Vellucci (#pens).@DailyFaceoff
As we look ahead at the offseason, who in the forward group do you see leaving and who do you see the front office waving goodbye to? [r/Devils]

If the Leafs are breaking up their big four guys, it sure seems like that means trading William Nylander and/or Mitch Marner: [Sportsnet]

“The Arizona Coyotes plan to play the 2023-24 season at Mullett Arena on the campus of Arizona State University despite a new arena plan hitting a roadblock.” [ESPN]
Coyotes are, uh, now asking for suggestions:
